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.
