Walking into the Ocean

Chief Inspector Peter Cammon is set to investigate the murder of a woman whose body had been thrown over a cliff by her husband who then proceeded to remove his own clothes and walk into the ocean.

Although semi-retired, Cammon has once again been called in by The Yard to help out in a troublesome case.  He has his former partner, Tommy Verden to help him.  Both are confident that the case is not as it seems.  The local police force is in the midst of investigating a serial killer, so likely aren't going to be much help.  However, Cammon finds himself drawn into the other investigation.

Unsatisfied with the way his investigation is going, Cammon calls his wife, Joan, to come and give him a woman's perspective on the murder scene.  Cammon is now sure that there was no murder, rather a suicide, but can he prove it?

Meantime the serial killer continues his actions, but his last two victims live through the attack.  A mistake, or a well planned action by a callous killer?

The husband of the woman has absconded to Malta.  Cammon goes there in search of him, only to find that the man disappeared just hours before his jet touched down.  Returning to England, Cammon resumes his hunt, only to find himself tied in to the hunt for the killer.

Author David Whellams provides the reader with an exciting read, full of plenty of action.  This is a book, which is hard to put down.
