Footsteps on the Shore

A killer, who has served his time, has been released from prison, however, for some reason he has gone missing.  DI Andy Horton and his DS Cantelli have gone in search of him.  The search is called to a halt when a body is found along the shore.  It is in bad shape, so identification is impossible immediately.

As the investigation is making headway, a call is received by Horton informing him of a body.  This time it is a person he knew, because he was going to buy her yacht.   Her house is unusually sterile, as if it had been cleaned, also, the yacht is missing.  Is it possible that the missing man, the death of the woman and the missing yacht are tied together?

When Dr. Clayton, the pathologist, identifies the body on the shore her information is immediately flagged.  This causes Horton to wonder just who this person was and what his connections are.  It isn't long before two agents of the Serious Organised Crime Agency are in his office.  He is told by them he no longer needs to continue his investigation into the victim.

Author Pauline Rowson has an intriguing solution to the case of the missing man, although DI Horton takes awhile to get it right.  A good, quick read.
