An apparently straightforward case turns into something far more sinister for Detective Superintendent Henry Christie

Detective Superintendent Henry Christie is in the middle of a case involving the horrific murder of a teenage girl when he is called in to investigate the drowning of Jennifer Sunderland, wife of local businessman Harry Sunderland. Henry’s curiosity is soon aroused when things don’t add up – and when a gun is pointed at his head by a masked man.

As Henry starts to dig a simple case of drowning turns into a complex web of deceit, theft, murder and a criminal conspiracy stretching all the way from the UK to Eastern Europe.
