First in the Cornish Crime Thriller series, DEAD WATER brings the rugged Cornwall coastline into sharp relief as rookie police officer Tamsyn Poldhu reports for her first day on the job. Her new mentor is Detective Inspector Rob Rego who has just transferred to the southwest from Greater Manchester Police. He’s lucky 13 – the thirteenth police officer of color in Cornwall.
When a body washes up on a remote Cornish beach, the assumption is death by drowning. But the body was dead long before it hit the water.
It’s a case of murder for a department already stretched thin and Tamsyn’s involvement in the case goes deeper than she could ever have imagined.
A gripping atmospheric mystery that’s perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Peter May.
