**Ann Cleeves--New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of
the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows--returns
with the extraordinary third in the Two Rivers series.
**
Fierce winds, dark secrets, deadly intentions.
When Jem Rosco--sailor, adventurer, and legend--blows into town in the
middle of an autumn gale, the residents of Greystone, Devon, are
delighted to have a celebrity in their midst. But just as abruptly as he
arrived, Rosco disappears again, and soon his lifeless body is
discovered in a dinghy, anchored off Scully Cove, a place with legends
of its own.
This is an uncomfortable case for Detective Inspector Matthew Venn.
Greystone is a place he visited as a child, a community he parted ways
with. Superstition and rumor mix with fact as another body is found, and
Matthew finds his judgment clouded. As the winds howl, and Venn and his
team investigate, he realizes that no one, including himself, is safe
from Scully Cove's storm of dark secrets.
"A friend of mine once joked that the work of Ann Cleeves is the
closest the crime fiction genre comes to evoking ASMR--the euphoric,
pleasant, spine-tingling sensation that's all the rage on YouTube. The
books never get too dark, never venture too far into dangerous
territory, but aren't outright cozy, either."--The New York Times
