'Shaw's novels combine a strong central character with an atmospheric setting and original plots' Sunday Times
If only Alexandra Cupidi had turned south instead of north, it would have been her who had discovered the dead woman.
Convinced the report of a body on the beach is a false alarm, D S Cupidi darts to Folkstone with her daughter Zoe in toe to scan the area. But this time her instincts are off and it is Zoe who discovers Mimi Greene's body on the shoreline.
A regular wild swimmer with her friends, it is perplexing that she would have been out swimming alone, especially in bad weather. Putting aside her daughter's traumatised state, D S Cupidi must find the truth behind Mimi's death.
