Summary

The stunning fourth book in the DS Alexandra Cupidi series from one of crime fiction's finest writers.

A double murder.

The naked corpses of Aylmer and Mary Younis are discovered in their home. The only clues are a note written in blood and an eerie report of two spectral figures departing the crime scene. Officer Jill Ferriter is charged with investigating the murders while her colleague, Alex Cupidi, is on leave, recovering from post-traumatic stress.

An elaborate scam.

The dead couple had made investments in a green reforestry scheme in Guatemala, resulting in the loss of all their savings. What is more disturbing is that Cupidi and Ferriter's disgraced former colleague and friend, Bill South, is also on the list of investors, and the Younises were not the only losers.

An unlikely killer.

Despite being in counselling and receiving official warnings to stay away from police work, Cupidi finds herself dragged into the case and begins to trawl among the secrets and lies that are held in the fishing community of Folkestone. Desperate to exonerate South, she finds herself murderously compromised when personal relationships cloud her judgement.

Pacey, intense and riddled with surprising twists, The Trawlerman shows that deceit can be found in the most unlikely places. The brooding waters of the Kent coastline offer an ominous backdrop for this lively thriller of corruption, mental health and the complexities of human connection.

Really enjoying these books

I’ve just listened to all of them in the series and they just get better.

The narrator does a brilliant job of making the characters distinctive and giving them personality. Hoping for another one in the series soon.

4th in the series and I hope it isn't the last

really enjoyed this full series and hope there will be more. As with the other books the characters are good, the story line excellent and there is a social commentary side in this case PTSD and doubt the right thing personally and not always following the letter of the law. I hope there will be a 5th book.
