At 4.12 in the morning, a single amber light comes on at a cable landing station on the Cornish coast. Dean Pascoe has worked the night shift there for six years and has never seen the line behave like this. It isn’t losing signal. Something is using it. And in the routing logs, beneath the path he knows, there is another one he doesn’t. Unlabelled. Dated 1961.
Forty miles away, Emma Trelawney reads a short news item about a brief service interruption at Porthgwarra and finds she can’t leave it alone. Before the day is out, a man in a grey jacket has handed her an envelope on a clifftop, and the careful peace she and Lucas have built is starting to come apart.
In Porth Trevan, Lucas’s grandfather Arthur is asked to tell, properly this time, the story of a crossing he made in 1961. Not the version he once gave a journalist. The real one.
Some networks were laid in the dark and left there. Somebody has just switched one back on.
What you’re getting into
The finale
The last chapter of Emma and Lucas’s story, with answers that have been three books in the making.
New ground
Undersea cables, old money and a coastline that carries far more than anyone on it realises.
Old ghosts
Arthur Ward’s past, and a year that keeps coming up wherever Emma looks.
She thought, not for the first time since the world had gone quiet again, that quiet had never once meant the same thing as gone.
