Cliff House

More about the book

Robert Wainwright, an ordinary schoolteacher, has been approached by a shadowy government figure and tasked with something extraordinary. David Rymer's Cliff House is the tale of a reluctant hero, forced to face peril and danger in the name of national security. Wainwright must place his trust in those faces who represent the nation's interest and use his local knowledge to accomplish the mission. Cliff House contains as much mystery as le Carré. Rymer drip feeds the reader with the pace of Clancy, exploring themes of heroism and family bonds, but at the heart of it, Cliff House is a love story, symbolising the hectic nature of the world around us and how--even under such circumstances--love can be found.
