The Cold Shore

When a man is found savagely murdered on an abandoned vessel off the north Kent coast, what begins as a routine inquiry turns deadly.

Detective Gavin Piper had intended only a brief visit to assist his superior officer – but when circumstance forces him to take command, he finds himself leading his first homicide case in a place that feels both unfamiliar and unforgiving.

As the investigation deepens, a key witness is found dead and dark secrets begin to surface. With the body count rising and the pressure mounting, Gavin must race against the clock to find the only surviving link – before the killer strikes again.

Will Gavin’s inexperience cost him more than just the case?

Or can he uncover the truth before it’s too late?

The Cold Shore is the first in a spin-off series of books featuring characters from the bestselling Detective Kay Hunter series by Rachel Amphlett, and perfect for readers who love page-turning thrillers by bestselling authors Michael Connelly, Peter James and Karin Slaughter.
