The Stranger's Companion: A beautiful island . . . an impossible mystery
Mary Horlock
October 1933
Sark is the smallest of the Channel Islands. With a population of 500 souls it has a reputation for being 'the island where nothing ever happens'. Until, one day, the neatly folded clothes of an unknown man and woman are discovered abandoned at a coastal beauty spot.
The islanders speculate that some kind of bathing tragedy has occurred, but as the search for the missing couple catches the attention of first the local and then national newspapers, Sark finds itself front page news.
When young islander Phyllis Carey returns to Sark from England she throws herself into solving the mystery, reporting on the case under the moniker P.
Carey. As Phyll digs through swirls of gossip in search of the truth she crosses paths with Everard Hyde, a surprise visitor from her past. As press coverage builds to fever pitch, long suppressed secrets from Phyll and Everard's shared, shadowy history begin to surface.
