Inhaltsangabe

The Story of My Disappearance is set in the sea-soaked landscape of New England in which Paul Watkins has lived and worked as a deep-sea fisherman. It is a world of savage beauty, sudden violence and death. For the main character, Paul, the fishing community provides a safe haven from a past he cannot forget. His apparently settled existence is a piece of carefully orchestrated camouflage cloaking memories lurking fathoms deep within his psyche; memories which rise to the surface to haunt him. The brutal intrusion into this life of a figure from his past intent on revenge, brings him face to face with his turbulent history, and throws his whole existence into jeopardy.
