    About this ebook

    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.

      A body is discovered near Scolt Head and it looks like a "Samphire war" may be breaking out and Peter Shaw also has to deal with a spate of second home burglaries which seem politically motivated. Very topical themes of low paid migrant workers and the impact of second homes in a rural community combine with clever plotting which only reveals (the surprising) identity of the murderer near the end of the story. Well woven fictitious places amongst well-known real locations like Burnham Market and Wells add to the pleasure for those of us familiar with North Norfolk.
