Synopsis
A turn-of-the-century tale of spies, sunken gold and mist-shrouded seas, The Riddle of the Sands is widely acknowledged as a ground-breaking classic of the thriller genre. When his friend Davies offers Carruthers the chance to do a little yachting and duck shooting in the Baltic, he accepts, despite some reservations. His doubts grow when he boards the scruffy Dulcibella and begins to realize there is a good deal more to the invitation than he could possibly have suspected ... For the fog onthe Baltic coast hides more than strange little fishing villages and ducks. It hides a presence, a dark and growing menace that may someday come to threaten the whole of Europe ...

From 1895 to 1910 he was a clerk in the House of Commons, resigning his post to be free to work for the Irish cause. When the Free State was established he joined the Republican army and was one of the many leaders who were arrested and shot in the tragic civil war that followed.
