Read the novel book that inspired this DEATH IN THE HARBOUR 

December 1950, Newhaven, East Sussex.

One foggy November evening, Police Constable George Swinley disappears while working his usual beat.

Four days later, his lifeless body is found floating in Newhaven Harbour.

His death is ruled as an unfortunate accident — it’s assumed he lost his footing in the dark. But his devoted wife Myra thinks otherwise. George knew the harbour like the back of his hand.

Determined to uncover the truth, Myra visits an old friend at Scotland Yard to plead for help. But he doesn’t think there’s much he can do.

Then Myra herself goes missing. She never makes it home from London.

Inspector Alun Ryga is sent to the Sussex coast to investigate. But nothing can prepare him for what he’s about to find . . .
