STAND-ALONE MURDER MYSTERY, #9 IN THE SERIES. MEET MAVERICK BRITISH DETECTIVE DI SKELGILL... MAD, BAD AND JUST A LITTLE BIT COZY.WHEN LATTER-DAY LOTHARIO and expert kayaker Roger Alcock disappears on the night of the 'Great Cockermouth Flood', his attractive wife Maeve takes 24 hours longer than might reasonably be expected to notify the authorities. But when Roger's corpse washes up on the Solway coast, a post mortem suggests his death may legitimately be classified as misadventure.

Yet as the floodwater recedes, reasons emerge for Roger's associates to celebrate his demise. Could spurned lovers and fleeced creditors and others who might benefit be acting in silent concert? Jealousy, revenge, greed... these are sentiments that trouble investigating officer DI Skelgill.

In his quest to divine a motive Skelgill enlists a visiting TV reporter, and the sister-in-law of the late Roger Alcock. But is this alluring duo simply playing him for their own devices? Can his famous 'sixth sense' come to his rescue in time - or will a second murder erase forever all trace of the killer?
