What to expect
Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman may seem a bit old-fashioned, but he’s always willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits.
It's DC Judy Lane who takes the call. ‘There’s a body in Forge Cottage, on the Old Llangwelli Road.’
The elderly victim is found propped up in his own back garden, a chain wrapped tightly around his chest.
The only clues to what happened are a glass of red wine, a Chinese takeaway receipt — and a missing delivery driver.
Before Detective Norman can pull the pieces together, the wife of a prominent local businessman disappears . . . And a second body is discovered in a seafront hotel.
Two dead bodies and a missing person: there’s something very nasty going on in this quiet little seaside town. It’s up to Detective Norman to uncover the truth before events turn even darker.
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
