Produktbeschreibung
A brand-new British crime mystery set on the Somerset coast from bestselling author Michael Hambling. Packed full of twists, this crime thriller will keep you turning the pages until the stunning conclusion. The body is found slumped on a mudbank in Watchet harbour, washed up with the incoming tide. A middle-aged man. The post-mortem reveals he was viciously beaten before ending up in the sea. And strangely his lungs are filled with fresh water. That's when Detective Sophie Allen of the Wessex Serious Crimes Unit is called in. She and her team end up with the tricky cases, the ones no one else can handle. A few days later, a second body is discovered in woodland high up on Exmoor. Then a new lead takes the case in an unexpected direction - and a very personal one for Sophie. It takes her back to a family tragedy fifteen years before, and memories she'd prefer to leave buried forever.
Autorenporträt
I like to think of myself as a writer of thoughtful, contemporary crime novels that are complex and involve situations that change lives. I live in the west-country counties of Wiltshire and Dorset, and set my novels in this area. The early novels in the Sophie Allen series are based on the Isle of Purbeck, that most beautiful of coastal areas. But the rest of the county of Dorset does get a look in. I'm a retired teacher who has tinkered with writing for much of my life. My previous efforts have usually been directed towards short stories but I have always felt that crime novels would be one of my final choices, particularly if a developing storyline allows me to introduce one or two social issues, albeit with a light touch. I write because I constantly create scenes, people, imaginary conversations and unusual situations in my head. I have always done so, ever since I was a child. Using the richness of the English language to set down these creations in words is a great joy.
