It’s Tamsyn Poldhu’s first day as a police constable in her home town of Penzance in Cornwall. She already knows that life can be cruel, but she has no idea how tough it’s going to be.
Detective Inspector Rob Rego has just transferred to the southwest from Greater Manchester Police, which makes him lucky 13 – the thirteenth police officer of colour in Cornwall.
When a body washes up on a remote Cornish beach, police initially assume that it’s a suicide by drowning, until they discover that the victim had been dead 12 hours before being dumped at sea.
Time to solve the crime is running out – and Tamsyn’s involvement in the case goes deeper than she could ever have imagined.
***
The first in a new series of contemporary crime thrillers set in Britain's southwest.
Perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs, Simon McCleave and Ann Cleeves.
