Aberdeen, Scotland 1840. Return to an age where sail was being challenged by steam, new continents were opening, and the world was full of opportunities for people to be as good - or as evil - as they chose. When the body of a local shipwright is found on the beach, neither the customers and suppliers he cheated nor the woman he seduced were surprised. But the mystery intrigues wood-carver John Grant, who decides to seek out the murderer. His work and his investigations bring him in contact with William Anderson, a rich merchant - and his daughter Helen. Commissioned to create a figurehead that combines the features of two women, John eventually uncovers a shocking tale of blackmail and death as he struggles to resist the pangs of unexpected love.
