Plymouth, 1930. A young labourer. A mysterious airman. A wager that will uncover a legend.

History and humour go literally hand-in-hand in an unbelievable tale based on actual events. The world's first who is it? mystery for lovers of Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ruth Rendell, and Anthony Horowitz.

Surviving an unexpected close encounter with a huge sea plane whilst rowing between Plymouth's foreshore and Drake's Island, George Devereux is called to the aid of one passenger urgently asking to be ferried ashore. George agrees, always keen to assist any in need on the waters, especially those in the services.

Tommy Shaw declares himself to be a mere Erk, the lowest rank in the RAF. But George needs to uncover Tommy's true name, because this enigmatic stranger is no ordinary man, and what follows if George accepts the fellow's life changing wager will be anything but an ordinary day!

Together they must travel to the fishing port of Looe, a simple trip to keep an urgent appointment and to watch the annual motorcycle racing event on the beach at low tide. Swapping stories as part of their wager, a series of chance encounters along the way build unexpected friendships that will change both their lives forever.

In another part of the city, events beyond their control are leading a legendary platoon to carry out a unique military intervention on home soil. Unwittingly, Tommy and George find themselves in the thick of it and presented with a choice: fight a battle that isn't theirs or declare themselves as cowards. It will take a living legend to find a third way.

Take a journey ON TIDAL SAND as a hero in hiding forges a new chapter with a new name. It's 1930 and Tommy Shaw is...
