A retired GP seeks solace from tragedy by spending time in his holiday lodge on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. He finds refuge in nature. He also finds suspicion, obsession and murder.
Dr Max Middleton suffers self-doubt, guilt and anxiety having misdiagnosed a child who dies and neglected his late wife Kathy’s early signs of cancer.
He retires to a lodge on the idyllic Suffolk coast where he begins to recover. Then he discovers the body of his holiday-park neighbour Gertrude half-way down the site cliff. The police treat her death as accidental, but from her injuries Max suspects she’s been pushed. He begins to investigate.
He begins to obsess.
Max spends his time getting to know his neighbours, uncovering their secrets, finding their motives. His obsession and anxiety are compounded by the aggression of neighbours, but he finds comfort in nature, distraction in the rich birdlife and support from his fully fledged children Greg and Emma Then everything changes. They are on the hunt for a serial killer, and time is running out.
