When his aunt and uncle disappear from their coastal English town, a man goes down a dangerous path to discover what happened . . . David Booker has returned to Romney Marsh on the south coast of England for a holiday. He’s expecting to spend time helping his aunt and uncle pack up the stock of their second-hand bookshop in preparation for a happy retirement. But when he arrives on a miserable April night to find his relatives missing without word and without a clue regarding their whereabouts, he gets little in the way of help from the local police, with the exception of Det. Jo Cash. They will team up to find the truth—possibly at the risk of both their lives.
