Overview

Plymouth, 1930. A young labourer. A mysterious airman. A wager that will uncover a legend. George Edwin Devereux is no-one famous. He works hard, keeps his word, and carves his name in wet sand simply to leave proof that he was there. Then, one June morning, an RAF seaplane almost lands on top of his rowing boat, and a stranger calling himself Tommy Shaw climbs down from the aircraft asking for help. Shaw is charming, brilliant, infuriating, and hiding something. He offers George a day's pay for a day's assistance, then raises the stakes with a wager: discover his true identity before nightfall, and the money will be doubled. Soon George is swept into a breakneck adventure across 1930s Plymouth, where every story is a clue, every errand becomes a danger, and the man beside him may be one of the most famous men alive. But legends are not the only people worth remembering. Inspired by the author's own family history, On Tidal Sand is a spirited historical adventure about courage, friendship, love, and the ordinary men whose names deserve to last longer than the tide.
