Slack Tide Kill (A Sally Rogers Mystery)

Thirty years ago, a young man was found dead on Dungeness beach, Kent – cockle shells where his eyes should be. The killer was never caught. Now it’s happened again. FBI exchange agent Sally Rogers is called to the same desolate coast. Another body. Same chilling signature. It's Sally's first real case after months behind a desk, and already the vulture press are circling. Her partner is a shadow of himself, her new DCI blocks every step she takes and the locals feed their darkest secrets to the sea. Now the tide is washing them all back to shore. From the windblown shingle beneath Dungeness power station to the drowned villages of Romney Marsh, Sally must tear through a lifetime of lies to stop a murderer who never went away – before the slack tide turns against her...
