Little does Nurse Cherry realize when distinguished Sir Ian Barclay
is rushed by his nephew Lloyd to Hilton Hospital that her newest
case will carry her north to misty, sea-beaten Balfour Island, off
the rugged coast of wind-swept Newfoundland. "Sudden hemorrhage of
a peptic ulcer," Dr. Joe Fortune had quickly diagnosed, and Cherry
is assigned to care for the truculent but endearing old Scotsman.
Cherry soon suspects that more than illness is worrying the peppery
owner of the Balfour Iron Mines, and her suspicions only deepen
upon their arrival at Barclay House on Balfour Island.True, there
is trouble at the mines. But the mysterious actions of Sir Ian's
erstwhile friend, Jock Cameron, force Cherry to conclude that
trouble of even greater consequence is in the making. What hold
does the industrialist Broderick have over Sir Ian? Who is "Little
Joe" Tweed, and why does his trawler Heron ride at anchor off
Balfour Island? The startling solution to this baffling mystery
waits for Cherry in three different places: deep in the
salt-stained recesses of Rogues' Cave, in the musty tower room of
Barclay House, and in the hole on the hill. But first Cherry must
face the effects of an island storm, as she and the island doctor
struggle to save the crew of a shoal-wrecked boat.
