The Shout

The sea is not a playground. A huge wave lifted the stern of the coaster, propeller and rudder, out of the froth and oil just as Bill Hawken tried to swing the Tamar Class lifeboat into a better position… Set in Cornwall, the crew never know what dangers, or even stranger outcomes, a call for a lifeboat launch will bring. The complexities of family life, interaction with hostile holiday-home owners, criminal activity, peer group tensions coupled with the day-to-day business of harbour life and other events, make for an exciting living.
