A Peter Diamond Mystery
The corpse of a beautiful woman, clad only in a bathing suit, is found on a popular Sussex beach at the end of a hot, sunny day - apparently murdered in full view of dozens of holiday makers. When her identity establishes her as a Bath resident, Inspector Peter Diamond is called in. But the gruff individualist must cooperate with Henrietta Mallin, the original senior investigating officer. Several national celebrities have been targeted by a serial killer whom the police refer to as "the Mariner", because he leaves notes with quotation from Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" as his signature.
