"A Ravelled Flag" is Part Two of her original ‘Strong Winds’ trilogy, set on and around the Orwell estuary in Suffolk.

‘The third flag – Anna’s resplendent dragon on its rippling black background – had been slashed to tatters … What did pirates do anyway? In real life and the twenty-first century?’ 

In "A Ravelled Flag" Donny Walker and his Allies – Anna, Xanthe, Maggi and Luke – come dangerously close to finding out. Their adventures take them to semi-derelict docklands, up the deserted and beautiful River Stour and onwards to Britain’s most easterly point. This is a winter story, dark and suspense-filled, a gripping sequel to "The Salt-Stained Book".

Parts One and Three, "The Salt-Stained Book" and "Ghosting Home", are also available, as is the complete series of 7 books.
