At Death's Window
(2014)(The fifth book in the DI Peter Shaw and DS George Valentine series)
A novel by Jim Kelly
A Shaw & Valentine mystery
When a body is discovered beneath the waves off Scolt Head Island, the contents of the dead man’s pockets lead Detective Inspector Peter Shaw to suspect an outbreak of ‘samphire wars’: a turf battle for control of the prized sea asparagus which sells for a small fortune along the affluent North Norfolk coast. Or does the killer merely want it to look that way?
Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant George Valentine is investigating a series of break-ins targeted at wealthy second-home owners. And a lethal strain of adulterated cocaine is flooding the streets of nearby Lynn, leaving devastation in its wake.
Then the second body is found – and the simmering tensions underpinning this remote coastal community come bursting into the open … with devastating consequences.
Genre: Mystery
