About this book

Detective DC Smith takes on his third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency when a member of Norfolk's aristocracy asks them to look into the death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe. The inquest ruled the death as misadventure, but Smith's unorthodox methods lead him to suspect a serious miscarriage of justice has occurred. Smith's investigation into this tragic death becomes increasingly complex as he uncovers details that challenge the official verdict.
