A winter storm hurls a rowboat onto the shingle below Hollow Eye Lighthouse-inside, a weather-dressed skeleton and three troubling clues.Noah Yalland, a once-relentless investigative journalist keeping his head down in Treggan Bay, is pulled back in when DS Scott Langdon brings the case to his kitchen table and old friend Issey Ashford arrives to help. On the south Devon coast in the ’90s, forensics point to a decades-old shooting and a body hidden somewhere damp before the sea returned it. As the trio split the work-the pistol to Scott, the watch to Issey, the cigarette case to Noah-the watch’s provenance hints at money and politics, widening the search from the cove to old channels of power. Pressed by village loyalties, smuggling talk, and a lighthouse that seems to collect secrets, Noah aims to name the dead man before the cost of the truth lands on those he’s begun to love.Includes one on-page intimate scene (kissing), historical/off-page violence and remains, and occasional strong languageCan be read as stand-alone, but is best enjoyed after Murder in Treggan Bay.For readers who like coastal cold casesFor readers who like slow-burn queer romanceFor readers who like small-town secrecyFor readers who like windswept lighthousesFor readers who like mysteries solved by clues you can hold
