Against the Tide

'Blood. A broken body. Utter devastation. Her knuckles clenched white. And her wails... They made the world stand still around her.'

'The emotion and shock of this book had me in tears more than once' Reader review ?????

If the truth could destroy you, would you choose to know it?

DC Vinny Robson has spent his career seeking justice for others, but when an elderly couple are violently murdered in his hometown of Beachbrook, the investigation takes a devastating turn - one that cuts straight through his own family.

As Vinny dives deeper, the case becomes more than a pursuit of a killer - it's a fight against the undertow of his own past. But in chasing the truth, will he finally find justice, or will he drown in the wreckage of everything he thought he knew?

Some truths should stay submerged. But once the tide turns, there's no stopping what comes to light.

An emotional crime drama set on the south coast of England, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Gillian McAllister and Ann Cleeves.
