Newly promoted Detective Greg Geldard is back in Norfolk, ready to build a life in his new home. He barely has time to unpack before he's plunged into a baffling murder investigation. A farmworker spots a human arm among a crate of dead turkeys. It’s DCI Geldard’s first day with Norfolk Police, and he didn’t expect to be dealing with murder quite so soon. It looks like an accident. But a closer inspection reveals signs of foul play — the victim suffered a vicious blow to the head. Days later, a second body is washed up a few miles away on Caister beach, a single stab wound to the chest.
