Meet DI Andy Horton. Heās a risk-taking Harley-Davidson-riding detective who doesnāt always play by the rules . . . which often lands him in trouble with his bosses.
Suspicious lights at sea, decomposing bodies and an old flame send Horton down a rabbit hole in this captivating crime thriller.
An elderly man obsessively watches the coast from his Victorian house high on the hill above Ventnor. When he observes mysterious lights out at sea, he reports them to the police.
The local police think heās a bit of a nuisance. And when Horton interviews him heās inclined to agree. A judgement he may bitterly regret.
Meanwhile a call comes through from Hortonās partner, DS Cantelli. A womanās decomposing body is pulled out of the sea, wearing a Victorian-style dress. The post-mortem gives them a massive shock.
And when another body is found, Horton thinks heās got a serial killer on his hands.
