Publisher Description
John "Slim" Hardy, heavy drinker and disgraced soldier turned bumbling private detective, is hired to investigate Ted Douglas, an investment banker who slips out of work every Friday to visit a desolate cove on the Lancashire coast. There, he walks to the shore, opens an old book, and begins to read aloud.
His wife thinks he's having an affair.
Slim thinks he's insane.
The truth is more incredible than either could imagine.
The Man by the Sea is the sensational debut novel by Jack Benton, a classic story of love, betrayal, murder, and intrigue.
Customer Reviews
The man by the sea
Very different and strange. I thought the ending was ok though.
The Man By the Sea
It took a bit to get into this & understand who/what etc. But it was a good mystery and kept me involved until the end.
Great Read
Good story. Didn’t know where it was going until it got there. It kept your interest so you had to continue to find out how it would end.
