About this listen

'Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour' Kath Middleton

A brutal double murder on a Norfolk beach horrifies the town of Cromer. The way the victims died is chilling and so Norfolk’s Major Investigation Team task DS Ashley Knight to manage the case.

It soon becomes clear that the murders were carefully planned and the finger of suspicion points to an organised crime gang, but as the evidence mounts, a far more sinister theory emerges.

Ashley has been allocated a young but opinionated partner in Hector Fade, and sparks soon fly. Annoyingly for Ashley, Hector is no pushover and looks destined for great things. When the pair delve into the case, they struggle to understand who would inflict such suffering on their victims and hope the crime is a one off from a deranged and dangerous individual. But then another body is found.

There’s a killer on the loose who must be caught, or other victims will meet their fate by the sea.

Bestselling Ross Greenwood is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James.

'Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist' Richard Burke

'The Norfolk series is Ross’s crowning achievement - characters to root for, an intricate web of suspense, all set against a stunning backdrop. I can’t wait for more' Wes Markin

I really liked the effort that went in to paint the scene. As someone who is very familiar with Cromer and the surrounding areas, I was very impressed with the descriptions given. I could really picture where everything was as the book went on.

Also, kudos to the narrator for not murdering the Norfolk accent. Some bits were off but it’s forgivable. And the pronunciations of Wymondham and Happisburgh (Windham and Haysborough) were spot on. I was preparing myself for those to be butchered if they came up.

Overall, an enjoyable, quintessentially British detective story. I’m glad I stumbled across it.

Brilliant first novel in the series. Kept me guessing until the end. There characters are wonderful, with things to like and dislike about each of them in equal measure. The descriptions of Cromer and the surrounding area are rich and accurate. The narration and accents were spot on. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.
