It is barely three months since the murder of his wife and Thomas Linley has taken to the South-West Coast Path in Cornwall, determined to walk its length in an attempt to recover from his loss. On the forty-third day of this walk, he spies a body on the beach - a young cliff climber has suffered a fatal fall. The nearest house the death site belongs to a woman veterinarian from Bristol, and this proximity makes her an automatic suspect, particularly as she seems to have no personal history before her 13th year. The case brings Barbara Havers from London and thrusts both detectives into the rugged beauty of out-of-season Cornwall, with it community of surfers and hoteliers. But the wild landscape is the scene of jealousy and betrayal and revenge, and Linley and Havers must sift through all these human emotions in their search for the killer.
