Losing Control by Fiona Erskine

£12.00

A body is washed ashore in Hartlepool, and the post-mortem confirms it is murder. Detectives trace the crime scene to the south bank of the River Tees, where night watchman Alf guards a shrine by the water.

A woman steps forward to identify the victim, saying she is his sister. The murder weapon is discovered with a colleague who had reported him missing. On the surface, the case appears straightforward.

But DI Julie Cadell is not convinced.
