The Celtic Ring

Björn Larsson

Translated by George Simpson

On a dark night in the Danish harbor of Dragør, Ulf is handed a log-book by a lone sailor who then disappears. The bizarre events recorded in the log lead Ulf and his friend Torben to make a dangerous winter crossing of the North Sea to Scotland in the 31-foot yacht Rustica. As they are passing through the Caledonian Canal, a lock-gate bursts open and nearly puts an end to their boat and their lives. Is this an unlucky accident, or attempted murder? Is the black fishing boat, F154, following them, or is that a coincidence too? The answers they find will draw them into a deadly duel with smugglers and a Druidic cult across some of the most dangerous sailing areas in the world.

First published in Sweden, Björn Larsson's thriller won instant recognition and has been compared by critics to Erskine Childers' The Riddle of the Sands. Like Childers, Larsson combines a mastery of sailing description with an intriguing plot which unfolds to a macabre denouement on an ancient Celtic site.
