An isolated paradise. A dead body. A killer on the loose. The Body in Blackwater Bay is the first thrilling mystery in the series from Paula Gosling, author of Monkey Puzzle and winner of the CWA Golden Dagger.
It was the Great Lakes' most exclusive residential hideaway. A tiny haven, made up of a handful of cottages, free of crime and trouble. Until the morning a dead body is discovered, littering someone's perfectly manicured lawn – bringing murder to paradise.
Detective Jack Stryker is recovering from a gunshot wound at his girlfriend's island cottage. But he's forced to abandon his vacation when he is persuaded to join up with the local sheriff.
A sinister tangle of events surround this unexpected killing – and it will take all of Stryker's skills to uncover the truth . . .
The series continues with A Few Dying Words.
