Someone disliked Eddathorpe's distinguished industrialist Sir Jeremy Blatt enough to bash him on the head, pack him into a lorry and despatch him on a North Sea ferry......
DCI Graham has a plethora of suspects to choose from: several wives, one of them Sir Jeremy's own: the exploited employees of his frozen-chicken empire: a son who loathed him: even a policeman....
And that is without taking into account the animal rights protesters, the tenants in the Blatt-owned slums and the unwanted help from Ron Hacker, Graham's favourite ex-detective superintendent, newly installed as Blatt's security chief.

In his fourth novel, Ray Flynn brings Eddathorpe delightfully alive once more in a story of cold-blooded murder, warm-blooded love and hard-headed detection by DCI Graham who uncovers a solution that surprises even him.

Raymond Flynn spent twenty-six years with the Nottinghamshire Constabulary. Starting as a uniformed constable, he later moved to the CID, serving for twelve years as the detective inspector in charge of the Fraud Squad in Nottingham, where he still lives. He turned to writing after taking medical retirement. He was a finalist in the 1992 Ian St James Short Story competition and won the Gooding Prize for short stories in 1994. Seascape With Body, A Public Body and A Fine Body Of Men are now available.
