With the help of his assistant, Sergeant Tomlinson, Dene must unravel the truth before it’s too late. The novel is a classic whodunit, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing.

First lines

It was nothing but a dream. He would wake up presently, with the heaving deck under his feet and the salt of the sea pungent in his nostrils.

Meanwhile the dream was horribly realistic; so were the prison bars, the acrid smell of fresh whitewash, the tramp of heavy feet in the clanging corridors, the rattle of keys in distant locks.
