The Drumbeater

Clive Allan has drawn upon thirty years experience as a police officer and a profound knowledge of the Scottish Highlands in
his crime thriller, The Drumbeater
When skeletal remains are found buried on a beach near the remote Scottish village of Glendaig, the evidence points to murder,
to a crime dating back seventy years to World War Two. The task of unravelling the mystery falls to history graduate Neil
Strachan, now a career cop, fast tracked into a new role on Northern Scotlands Major Enquiry Unit. When Neil calls upon
German naval historian, Matthias Fuchs, to help identify the remains, a name soon emerges, that of a dashing young U-boat ace
who mysteriously disappeared in 1941: Korvettenkapita¨n Max Friedmann.
Neil seeks the assistance of Glendaigs elderly residents, but encounters an impenetrable wall of silence, causing him to suspect
that they know far more about the young submariner than they are willing to impart. With more questions than answers, and
under mounting pressure from his cynical boss to wrap up the enquiry, Neil embarks on a race against time to discover the truth.
He begins to unravel a tale of subterfuge, escape and astounding loyalty. A tale that will ultimately reveal a secret that could have
changed the course of World War Two...
