About this audiobook
He couldn't stop thinking there was someone out there among the waves, crying for help and disappearing under the black water.
Three children are spending their summer on a wild Scottish island. Fraser is desperate for adventure; Hayley is fed up; while Dunny spends his days staring out to sea. But everything changes with the discovery of two bodies on the beach: a whale and a man. Fraser and Hayley see a mystery-adventure to be solved, but Dunny is inconsolable. And in the end, it will take someone who listens to the sea to put it right.
