In the opening scene, a man washes up onto shore with no memory of who he is or how he came to be in the sea. He learns his name only when his neighbor asks him, “Mr. MacLean, are you okay?” He also knows his dog’s name and various other bits of knowledge but nothing about himself. While searching the house for clues to his identity, he comes across a map of the area showing a route known as Coffin Road marked.
This story by Peter May is exceptionally well-written where you can feel MacLean’s confusion and sense of loss. The mystery of who he is combines with the mystery of what he is doing in the area and why. This is the first book that I have read by Peter May but it will not be the last.
