When his latest case takes him to Norfolk, he’s finally found a place he can call home. Although impatient with paperwork and dismissive of inter-agency politics, he’s a natural leader, hardworking, insightful and above all, willing to listen. Still reeling from a painful divorce, he has begun a tentative romance with DS Chris Matthews. But a relationship with a fellow police officer is fraught with difficulties.THE SETTINGNorfolk, as Geldard often observes, seems to have more water than land. Bordered by vast, empty beaches, it is home to the unique environment of the Broads; a network of navigable rivers and man-made lakes which date from medieval times. This wetland landscape is known for its open skies, vast waterways, and diverse wildlife. Norfolk also has some of the richest farming land in the UK, growing everything from cereals to asparagus. But this idyllic environment, as Geldard knows to his cost, can hide dark secrets.
