Synopsis

"Introducing veteran Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Peter Cammon, this novel finds Cammon journeying to the Jurassic Coast to solve a seemingly ordinary domestic crime. At first glance, the perpetrator appears to have murdered his wife before drowning in the English Channel, but Cammon soon learns that his case is merely a sideshow. A broader series of murders has been unfolding along the cliffs, baffling the local police."--Provided by publisher.

Review:

"[T]he plot builds to a dramatic and suspenseful climax. The author's refreshingly clear-eyed portrayal of his hero ('Peter Cammon felt superior to psychology, in the way that many people do who have never studied it') is a plus." —Publishers Weekly (February 13, 2012)

"Don't miss this engrossing and complex debut, the first volume in a projected trilogy. . . . It's perfect for those who love travel and history mixed with crime." —Library Journal (April 2012)

"Whellams has written the most ambitious Canadian crime novel in years. . . . Chief Inspector Peter Cammon . . . is a terrific character, and the plot, combining two kinds of murder on England's southern coast, is baffling in all the right ways." —Toronto Star (January 27, 2013)
