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.
