Story Overview
Arthur Finch arrives at Skagness Head intending to catalog weather logs and keep the kerosene burner trimmed until spring. The village below remains suspicious of mainlanders, whispering about the previous keeper who vanished into the November surf.
When a storm severs the headland road, Finch uncovers handwritten margins inside the station ledgers that contradict the official Admiralty reports. Written as a single volume with a definitive closed ending, the story includes reader club questions in the back.
