You've read the first Kilshaw book or appreciate detective series that build momentum across multiple instalments.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a cosy mystery with clever puzzles and minimal violence.
You prefer your crime fiction fast-paced and urban rather than brooding and rural.
You need your myths explained away quickly rather than left genuinely unsettling throughout.

About this book

A mutilated body washes up on Sennen Beach, and DS Liam Kilshaw takes on a case set against a harsh Cornish winter. The victim's face is too severely disfigured for identification, prompting local whispers about Bucca Dhu, a vengeful sea demon from legend whose mythology involves human sacrifice. The killing's details echo this local superstition. When a second body appears above the high-tide line, Kilshaw realizes he is working against time. A missing crew member, a lost shipping container, and a series of cryptic clues suggest something more deliberate than myth. Kilshaw must determine the truth before another victim is claimed.
