From Publisher:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A daring story of adventure, friendship, and love in the shadow of WWII" (Harper's Bazaar) from the renowned author of Ape House and Water for Elephants

"Gripping, compelling . . . Gruen's characters are vividly drawn and her scenes are perfectly paced."--The Boston Globe

In January 1945, when Madeline Hyde and her husband, Ellis, are cut off financially by his father, a retired army colonel who is ashamed of his son's inability to serve, Ellis decides that the only way to regain his father's favor is to succeed where the Colonel very publicly failed--by hunting down the famous Loch Ness monster. Leaving her sheltered world behind, Maddie reluctantly follows Ellis and his best friend, Hank, to a remote village in the Scottish Highlands. Gradually, the friendships Maddie forms with the townspeople open her up to a larger world than she knew existed. Maddie begins to see that nothing is as it first appears, and as she embraces a fuller sense of who she might be, she becomes aware not only of darker forces around her but of life's surprising possibilities.
