About the book

A desperate plea for help leads to a sinister mystery in this gripping new crime novel set in Devon.

'Crime fiction at its very best, a knotty mystery' Elly Griffiths

'Terrific … Perhaps his best yet' Ann Cleeves

A SCORCHING SUMMER

Down in the seaside town of Teignmouth, ex-Met detective Eden Driscoll grows restless after a long summer caring for his nine-year-old nephew.

A DESPERATE PLEA

When a man knocks at Eden’s door desperate for help, claiming someone is trying to kill him, Eden jumps at the chance to solve a mystery. But before he can ask more questions, the stranger disappears.

A DEADLY FIRE

The cry for help came too late – that same night a house along the coast is burnt to the ground, and a man’s remains are discovered among the rubble. In the days after, Eden’s curiosity only grows. He soon finds himself investigating, and begins to uncover a web of deception, jealousy and corruption.
