The staff at Stoley's Boatyard were used to holidaymakers returning their pleasure cruisers a little late. They were not used to finding their yachts burned almost beyond recognition with the charred remains of a client still aboard. Taking on the investigation, Chief Inspector George Gently faces an enquiry like no other he has ever handled. Somewhere beneath the lies of the victim's wife, somewhere obscured by the brittle edge of her daughter's fear, somewhere hidden by her son's hysteria, lies the truth.
