Struggling with his new role as a detective chief inspector, John Tanner is warned of a convicted psychopath’s early release.

When a couple is found later that day; the man stabbed to death, the woman with her throat cut, he's forced to assume the convict is responsible.

But when the male victim turns out to be heir to a global pharmaceutical company, and his twelve-year-old son is nowhere to be found, he has to start looking closer at the victim’s family, and their sprawling stately ancestral home.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.
