Donna Morris has chosen to do her probationary year as detective
constable in the small seaside town of Scarborough. But on her
first day, a body is found in the woods: the corpse of Henrik
Grünttor presents itself as that of a homeless man, dead from his
own drug use. However, until recently, Grünttor had been working
at the local GCHQ centre on the Russian section and the postmortem
reveals the cause of his death to be uncertain. Now in her early
fifties, Donna has her own reasons for wanting to be in
Scarborough, ones she would prefer to keep from her colleagues. For
she's not been drawn there by the landscape or the light, or even
the beach, but to be closer to her wayward daughter - a daughter
serving time in the nearby prison for GBH. Yet beyond even this,
Donna hides another secret: she grew up in East Berlin, escaping
across the wall in the early 1980s. Due to the circumstances of her
past Donna is drawn to the dead man whose background is not
dissimilar to hers... and her persistence reveals there are several
people who wanted Grünttor dead -- and gathered around him in his
final days like a wake of crows...
