Don't miss DEVIL'S TABLE, the new locked-island mystery from highly-acclaimed author, Kate Rhodes
THE GRIPPING LOCKED-ISLAND MYSTERY # 2
‘Gripping, clever and impossible to put down' ERIN KELLY
THE ISLAND OF TRESCO HOLDS A DARK SECRET
SOMEONE WILL KILL TO PROTECT.
Ben Kitto has become the Scilly Isles’ Deputy Chief of Police. As the island’s lazy summer takes hold, he finds himself missing the excitement of the murder squad in London. But when the body of professional diver Jude Trellon is discovered, anchored to the rocks of a nearby cave, his investigative skills are once again needed.
At first it appears that the young woman’s death was a tragic accident, but when evidence is found that suggests otherwise, the islanders close ranks. With even those closest to the victim refusing to talk, it seems that plenty of people might have had reason to harm her. As the islanders remain guarded, Ben Kitto suspects a killer is on the loose in Tresco.
Everyone is a suspect.
Nobody is safe.
