A Harvey Ross Coastal Mystery

A hidden satchel. A long-buried murder. A seaside town with secrets worth killing for… When Harvey Ross's terrier unearths an old leather satchel on Sheringham beach, the retired Detective Inspector discovers something the Norfolk waves should have claimed decades ago: evidence of an unreported 1950s murder—and a cryptic reference to treasure the locals swear doesn't exist. Newly divorced and restless, Harvey can't resist pulling the thread.

A trail of unsolved murders. A mystery boat abandoned in the dead of night. For Harvey Ross, the coast is anything but quiet… Newly appointed police consultant Harvey Ross is thrown straight into his first cold case: the infamous Bouquet Murders, a trio of killings that have puzzled Norfolk Constabulary for years. With the help of a keen but inexperienced probationer, Harvey begins to unravel the tangled web of clues… and discovers that some secrets are harder to bury than others.

Harvey Ross has finally found his rhythm in Sheringham. His consulting work keeps him sharp, his relationship with Dr. Rose Morgan is flourishing, and he's reconnecting with his daughters after years of estrangement. Life is good. Quiet. Perfectly ordinary. Then he opens a fifty-year-old cold case and everything changes. Sir Winston Bartholemew, found dead at Cromer Pier in 1976. Official verdict: accidental death.
