Life is rapidly falling apart for young librarian, Laura Braybrooke. After receiving devastating news about her health, she retreats to the peace of the West Country. It doesn't stay peaceful for long. For walking out to the lonely Devon peninsular of St. Michael's Point, near to a one time secret army base for American forces prior to D-Day, Laura meets Paul, a mysterious stranger who has come to investigate the wartime killing of the local coastguard: his grandfather Jack Hannaford. The evidence suggests that Jack was a spy. But if that was so then what changed him from a steadfast patriot to a quisling? Does the secret lie behind the rusting wire of the vast St. Michael's Point Manor, the derelict cliff top headquarters of the former American army base, or maybe in the woods nearby, where the remains of a devastating wartime experiment lie buried deep underground? Against the clock and facing their personal demons, it's up to Laura and Paul to find out. An exciting and original spy novel with a difference, set against the ravishing backdrop of a British coastline under American military control, a tale which mirrors the occupation of land by foreign forces in other parts of the world today. Not just a thrilling journey into a long buried past. The Call of Echoes resounds with the fears and uncertainty of the present.
