Jeremy Palmer is found dead at low tide on the bank of the River Thames. The police investigation found nothing suspicious and the inquest verdict is Death by misadventure, drowning. A suicide note was found but the circumstances of death did not prove this conclusively.
Stuart Clay, an old friend, cannot accept the verdict. Despite knowing Jeremy was a regular drugs user and often desperate for money, Stuart didn’t believe he would take his own life.
Convinced it was murder, Stuart starts his own investigation which leads him into a criminal world he knows little of, endangering his own and his girlfriend’s life. As the threats become more frequent, events move swiftly to a dramatic conclusion.
This thriller is set in the 1960’s, returning to an age before technology enabled immediate communication to almost anywhere in the world. Perhaps a simpler time, but nevertheless very dangerous for those venturing into the murky world of drug dealing and distribution.
