"An exciting and riveting read"
"This is a really good book which is accurate when it describes how policing works. Any current or ex-police officers, as well as anyone interested in crime, will love this. No one is a superhero and the plot twists and turns until an unexpected climax."
"A window into a darker world. This along with the intricate lives and relationships of both the force and the local community made it a fascinating read. The added interest was the author's ability to demonstrate what it's like for DI Rego, a visible minority, living in Cornwall, heading up a complex murder investigation."

It’s Tamsyn Poldhu’s first day as a police constable in her home town of Penzance in Cornwall. She already knows that life can be cruel, but she has no idea how tough it’s going to be.
Detective Inspector Rob Rego has just transferred to the southwest from Greater Manchester Police, which makes him lucky 13 – the thirteenth police officer of colour in Cornwall.
When a body washes up on a remote Cornish beach, police initially assume that it’s a suicide by drowning, until they discover that the victim had been dead 12 hours before being dumped at sea.
Time to solve the crime is running out – and Tamsyn’s involvement in the case goes deeper than she could ever have imagined.
The first in a new series of contemporary crime thrillers.
Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Kathy Reichs and Simon McCleave.
Genre: Mystery
