Sunk Without Trace is a crime caper set in England and France in the 1930s. Poor 24 year old Ralph accepts a job offer as personal secretary to a man he meets on a train. The job initially involves accompanying the new boss on a trip to France in his yacht.

From when Ralph arrives at the yacht, which turns out to be far less glamorous than envisaged, things begin to go off course as a dead body is pulled out of the water before they have even left England. Then suddenly he finds himself elbow deep in some type of criminal undertaking from which is cannot easily escape.

And he meets a lady. Whom he's sweet on.

A pretty good little sea going adventure and romp through early France. ( )
