Detective-Inspector Benjamin Jurnet is deeply in love and excited yet anxious about reuniting with his beloved Miriam after a year apart. He plans a getaway to the charming village of Lanthrop, which features a beautiful beach. Although it’s meant to be a holiday, Jurnet, ever the detective, intends to investigate reports of tampering at an archaeological site linked to Queen Boadicea. Their romantic retreat takes a dark turn when a decayed arm emerges from the sand, revealing a dead body.

This compelling narrative showcases the intricacies of human emotion alongside a gripping detective story. Critics praise the author for her elegant writing, complex characters, and meticulous plotting.
