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

Didn’t like that I wouldn’t stop listening to it when I was tired. Kept falling asleep and had to re-listen to previous chapter(s).

Best book I’ve read in a long time.

I adore Ross Greenwood's DI Barton series, so I was very excited to listen to this new series of his. It absolutely did not disappoint!!

A brilliant plot, with lots of depth and twists. Even when the list of suspects started to be narrowed down, you were still kept guessing until the very end. Which is why I stayed up to after 2am, as I just couldn't go to sleep until I knew! 😁

Also lots of laugh out loud banter amongst the police team, just like the DI Barton books.

Bonus for me is that I have visited North Norfolk my whole life, so loved hearing about places I know well. Although a personal knowledge of Cromer is not needed at all to enjoy this book.

Excellent narration, as always, by David Thorpe, who nails the Norfolk accent, as well as many others.

Can't wait for more in this series.

Absolutely Brilliant!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
