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.

The man by the sea
Very different and strange. I thought the ending was ok though.
Good read
Very interesting light read👍
Good pass-time mystery read
The storyline is enjoyable and gets a grip on the reader throughout, including an occasional reader like myself. Suspense was articulated masterfully - complementing the pleasure of reading.
Happy to recommend for good pass-time reading experience.
