Description
Kevin Devine's lifeless body washes up on the beach, brutally murdered. Tied to a stake and left to drown as the tide comes in, the crime scene is shocking even for seasoned investigators. Rookie detective Goagsie Mackay is stumped, with little evidence and few leads to follow. Elijah Bootle, a troubled Met Police profiler, arrives in Berwick seeking refuge from his own demons. Haunted by a recent traumatic event, he hopes the quiet town will provide some solace. However, when Jez Guinness, a school teacher from Edinburgh, meets Elijah at a local chip shop, an unlikely friendship is formed. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a dark underbelly beneath Berwick's tranquil façade. Narrow lanes and cobbled streets hide secrets and dangers that threaten to destroy their lives.
