Marvik is detailed by Crowder of the National Intelligence Marine Squad to attend the funeral of Bradley Pulford, a man whose body was found washed up on a beach on the Isle of Wight in January only he’d been officially declared dead fifty-five years earlier in Singapore.
So who is the impostor and why assume the name of a dead man? What’s more why did he suddenly show up in the Dorset coastal town of Swanage in 1989, hook up with a local fishing family, the Killbecks, and then after fathering a child with Stacey Killbeck disappear in 1990?
The Killbecks claim they know little about him. Is that natural reticence or do they have something to hide? Marvik’s job is to find out.
Then an innocent woman is killed.
Now Marvik must go full-throttle against a gang of villains as ruthless as they are deadly if he has any hopes of catching a killer.
