The latest three-book series by Solomon Carter featuring a new team headed by DI Verity Zennor.
When a young body washes ashore on a tranquil North Cornwall beach, the mysterious mark found on their neck mirrors two previous victims found along the coast.
DI Verity Zennor and her team face a chilling puzzle – the victims appear to come from Eastern Europe, but the meaning of the grisly mark remains elusive.
Who killed these young victims?
And why were their bodies thrown into the sea?
As Zennor delves into the darkness, a fresh crime scene soon comes her way—a woman named Susan Quant is found dead on remote farmland, her body left as food for animals.
Zennor discovers that Quant was well-loved by those who knew her – but she soon unearths Quant’s shadowy past, and a raft of unusual enemies.
Just who is the enigmatic ‘Black Books’ – the man who was seen with Quant in the weeks before her murder – and what secrets was she hiding from those who knew her best?
With an imposing NCA team breathing down her neck and a deputy on the verge of mutiny, DI Zennor must tread carefully to solve these crimes. But time is not on her side and the stakes couldn’t be higher—countless lives are in the balance… her team is at risk and even Zennor’s family is in danger from those who lurk in the shadows.
DI Zennor must work tirelessly to uncover the secrets of the dead on North Cornwall’s Silent Shore or more victims will pay the price.
In a thrilling conclusion, DI Zennor will discover that the darkest secrets are those we cannot see… until it’s too late.

I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.

I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
