Description
Ben Kitto needs a second chance after ten years working for the murder squad in London. A traumatic event has left him grief-stricken and he's trying to mend his shattered nerves by taking three months off to work in his uncle's boatyard on the tiny island of Bryher. However, his plans are disrupted when the body of a 16-year-old girl is found on the beach at Hell Bay. The attacker must still be on the island because no ferries have sailed during the two-day storm, and everyone is under suspicion. Dark secrets are about to resurface, and the murderer could strike again at any time. Kate Rhodes expertly weaves a tense and intriguing story that balances a portrayal of a tiny community oppressed by secrets with an evocation of setting.
