About the Book
Meet Inspector Alun Ryga of Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad. Having survived WW2 in a prisoner of war camp, he’s vowed to get justice for those who need it.
1951, Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
One scorching summer evening, Commander Clive Cottinglea is returning home from the yacht club when he stumbles across a body at the bottom of the cliff lift.
By the time he fetches the beat constable, not only has the corpse vanished — but there’s no trace it was ever there. No blood. No broken twigs. No trampled flowers.
The local Southend police are baffled. How can they investigate a murder without evidence or a body?
The worried chief constable calls in a favour from Detective Superintendent Street at Scotland Yard — who knows just the man for the job.
Inspector Alun Ryga is dispatched undercover to the Essex coast to conduct a discreet investigation. He soon discovers unsettling contradictions in the retired commander’s story.
But the peculiar case then takes a deadly turn when another body is discovered on a deckchair on the pier . . .
Have you met Pauline Rowson…
Adventure, mystery and heroes have always fascinated and thrilled Pauline, that and her love of the sea has led her to create her exciting and gripping range of crime novels.
Born and raised in the coastal city of Portsmouth in the UK, Pauline Rowson draws her inspiration for her crime novels from the area. When she isn't writing (which isn't often) she can be found walking the coastal paths on the Isle of Wight and around Langstone and Chichester Harbours looking for a good place to put a body!
Pauline is the author of the Solent Murder Mystery series featuring the rugged and flawed Portsmouth detective, Detective Inspector Andy Horton; the 1950s set Inspector Ryga mysteries; the Art Marvik mystery thriller series, and standalone thrillers.
Her crime novels have been highly acclaimed in the UK, USA and Commonwealth and they have been translated into several languages. Multi-layered, fast-paced, and compelling, they are full of twists and turns and are played out against the dramatic and powerfully evocative British marine landscape of the south coast of England.
