disturbed by a report of a body found in the harbour weighed down by an anchor. Driven to
prove a point to his superiors back on the mainland Stilwell will cross every line of protocol

everything and finding the killer will reveal the dark heart of his new home. But on a small
island with big secrets - someone is always watching... **** CRIME DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN
