He thought he'd gotten away, but he was wrong. The Frenchman tracked him down and dragged him back to Cornwall - and his ghosts. A dead fisherman washed up on the Isles of Scilly. The fisherman's son, with learning difficulties, missing. A baying pack of newshounds chasing a submarine story. A boss on the warpath. And a fishing community that blamed him for the death of his father. District Inspector of Fisheries Cullum Vague begins uncovering the truth behind these events, working with his French colleague, Lieutenant Loic Tanguy. To do so, they have to dive deep into the world of offshore fishing. Set on and around the Isles of Scilly and the deepwater hake fishery far out in the Bay of Biscay, Cowrie Bay is a fast-moving story with colourful characters, an intriguing plot, many twists and plenty of action. It will appeal to those who are curious about what happens on our seas, and the people who live there.
