This is the story of a murder in a seaside town on the shores of the English Channel.
But when Detective Chief Inspector Davies King opens a murder investigation following the discovery of a body in the harbour, he is devastated to learn that a close friend is the main suspect.
Who else could it be?
?
Publicly, the hardnosed chess-playing detective doesn’t see things the same way as others and remembers how a colleague who is involved in the enquiry once made a crucial mistake. With the authorities against him, Davies musters a handpicked bunch of detectives to destroy the gossip and unearth the evidence. Amidst the kiss-me-quick hats, candy floss, and holiday atmosphere, Davies King begins the fight back in the lounge bar of the Anchor pub near the harbour.
It’s not long before Davies, Detective Inspector Annie Rock, Barney and the team have their eyes fixed on a trail of unproven possibilities that leads them to an international journey of intrigue and mystery.
What’s the killer’s motive? Betrayal? Love? Trust? Or the unseen power of organised crime?
Come and join the Murder Squad. Sit back and hold tight. It’s a rollercoaster, and the investigation might just go around in a full circle and take you back to the original suspect. You’ll never know until the end.
It's another Davies King tale of suspense and intrigue that twists and beguiles the minds of those involved and presents a challenge that only a few can accept. A unique tale of a criminal investigation.
Reader’s Review: An engaging read that is full of action and a real page-turner. It grabs you in the beginning at the harbour and doesn’t let you go until the end. Very good indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed it. A class of its own. (Meg Johnston)
