'Effective and moving' Literary Review 'Tightly plotted, really
well written and a very engaging, unusual detective in the form of
DC Donna Morris. An original and refreshing take on police
procedurals' Harriet Tyce, bestselling author of Blood Orange The
first in a thrilling new police procedural series set in
Scarborough and introducing DC Donna Morris - middle-aged,
seemingly ordinary - but hiding many secrets... 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 Grunttor presents itself
as that of a homeless man, dead from his own drug use. However,
until recently, Grunttor 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 Grunttor dead -- and gathered
around him in his final days like a wake of crows... Praise for
Kate Evans 'Kate Evans delivers a gripping crime debut with a truly
original policewoman as the central character. Highly recommended'

rich and rewarding police procedural with a candidly portrayed and
memorable central character' 5 Stars, Reader Review 'A brilliant
