The Shallows - Nigel Bird - Bog

Lieutenant Bradley Heap has gone AWOL and taken along his wife and son. They're managing to cope until a chance encounter turns their world upside down. With no money and no contacts, the Heaps are forced underground. It's a tough path they've chosen, but they can cope with anything as long as they stay together as a family unit. Detective John Locke of Police Scotland joins forces with his Navy colleagues in the search for Heap on a trail that will take them from the middle of Scotland to the edge of the South Lakes. The Shallows explores the limits of human endurance and examines how far people will go to protect the ones they love. It is a twisting tale of tension, despair and intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.What they're saying about The Shallows: "A brilliantly modern Bonnie and Clyde thriller, with great pace and real emotion."
