A Gothic remaking of the classic country house murder mystery.

'Martin Edwards is a true master of British crime writing.' RICHARD OSMANThe first rule of murder: know your victim. Basil Palmer has decided to murder a man called Louis Carson. There's only one problem: he doesn't know anything about his intended victim, not who he is or where he lives. Basil learns that Carson owns Hemlock Bay, a resort for the wealthy and privileged. Knowing that his plan will only work if he covers his tracks, he invents a false identity and, posing as Dr Seamus Doyle, journeys to the coast plotting murder along the way. Meanwhile Rachel Savernake buys an intriguing painting of a place called Hemlock Bay, one that she cannot get out of her head. Macabre and strange, the image shows a shape that seems to represent a dead body lying on the beach. Convinced that there is something sinister lurking amongst the glamour of the bay, Rachel books a cottage there - where she meets a mysterious doctor called Seamus Doyle...Praise for Martin Edwards'Highly recommended, with a touch of the gothic.'
