Description
'A wonderfully evocative and classically structured whodunnit,' - Church Times
‘Excellence by the sea’ is the strapline in Stormhaven Towers school’s publicity. But when the hard-drinking, heavy-smoking new headmaster, Jamie King, is found dead at the bottom of the town’s famous white cliffs, this excellence comes under savage scrutiny.
Suicide is assumed at first. But unanswered questions remain.
Then there is a second death at the school. With the pursuit of excellence exchanged for the pursuit of a killer, the long dark corridors of Stormhaven Towers become an education in fear.
Who will be next? And will detective duo Abbot Peter and Tamsin Shah remain unscathed?
