Early one morning while on summer holiday on the Island of Mull,
Detective Superintendent William Lorimer discovers the body of a young
man, just above the high tide mark. Although he knows that he will not
be involved in the investigation, Lorimer can’t help but notice some
similarities to a case he had investigated 20 years earlier as a new DC.
Lorimer is surprised when the SIO shows up; DI Crozier is a woman he had
not met before. He forgets to tell her about the previous case when
they meet to briefly discuss the case.
The pathologist, Rosie Fergusson, determines that the victim was dead before he went into the water.
When Lorimer is able to speak again to DI Crozier, he points out that
the body had been found above the high tide mark. He also mentions the
20 year old case. She isn’t really interested, she is more fearful that
he will step in and take over the case.
Things take a drastic turn when a potential witness is found murdered
and a potential suspect has gone missing. Now Crozier comes to Lorimer
for help.
Will Lorimer’s help be enough? Is there the possibility of another
killing in the offing? Author Alex Gray’s thriller is full of potential
suspects, but it isn’t until near the end that the killer is revealed.
A very good read.
