'The very definition of a one-sitting read' ROBERT RUTHERFORD

Cam Killick left the special forces with a handful of medals, stories he cant share and PTSD so bad he can only find peace under water. Working as a salvage diver in the Norfolk Broads keeps him sane, and the countys many tales of the lost keep him busy.

And one particular local unsolved mystery calls to him.

Freddie and Maud Brindley and their children Tommy and Hannah left a party in 1987, and none of them, nor their green Jaguar, were ever seen again. Convinced he can succeed where others have failed, Cam begins his search but when at last he finds the Jaguar at the bottom of a lake, its empty. No bodies. No real answers.

And suddenly finding the car itself is not enough. Cam has to know what happened to the Brindleys. But he needs to watch his back. Some secrets, once submerged, should stay that way.

A gripping, propulsive and atmospheric crime thriller perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter James and Elly Griffiths. Your new crime obsession starts here...
