Meet Rina Martin, a retired actress with a taste for tea, gardening, and crime solving. She played a TV sleuth for years, but now she has to do it for real. One glorious morning, Rina heads out for a stroll along Frampton promenade, where all is picture-perfect...until she spots something that stops her in her tracks: a luxury yacht sailing round in circles. Rina knows that can't be right. As for the captain, he is nowhere to be seen...until coastguards board the yacht and find him shot dead—execution-style. The captain's name is Paul de Freitas: a high-powered software designer from out of town. What was he doing in Frampton, and who is the mystery man who shared his fate? Rina's determined to get to the bottom of it all, but has she finally bitten off more than she can chew?
