DI Andy Horton is enjoying a sailing trip to France when the call comes in: Sergeant Cantelli’s nephew, Johnnie Oslow, has vanished right before the prestigious Cowes Week yacht races on the Isle of Wight.

Horton’s boss dismisses it - probably just a romantic escapade - until charred remains turn up in an abandoned tunnel. Could it be Johnnie?

What begins as a missing person case quickly spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse. A ruthless killer is on the loose - and he’s far from finished...

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis, and Angela Marsons, this is an utterly gripping detective mystery that will keep you hooked until the final, chilling twist.
