About the book:

Another day on the Norfolk Broads, and another underwater problem for salvage diver Cam Killick to solve. Today, it’s removing the huge rock jamming the mechanism of a crucial swing bridge. The knots have been double checked; the winches are set. And then the ‘rock’ splits apart, revealing the bodies of two people, partially mummified, curled into each other, clearly having died in each other’s arms.

This chilling discovery is now a problem for DI Claire Rogers of the Norfolk CID – but Cam can’t let it go. As the dead man’s hand was released from its makeshift coffin it tangled in his in a macabre parody of a handshake – and though he knows it’s foolish, he can’t help thinking that that handshake sealed a vow.

Cam knows he won’t rest until he’s uncovered the story of these ill-fated lovers. But what neither he nor Claire can predict is how much danger they will bring on themselves as they seek to learn who the couple were, and why they were killed – and what their deaths leave behind.

About the author:

Rob Parker is the author of the Cam Killick Norfolk Mysteries as well as Far From The Tree, the No. 1 bestselling thriller for Audible Original and the first instalment in the Thirty Miles trilogy, alongside many other novels. He is the host of Crime Central Manchester, a monthly showcase of emerging crime writing talent and blockbuster bestsellers, and, alongside his wife, runs writing workshops for budding young authors around the country. Rob lives in Warrington with his wife, three children and their dogs, and was inspired to write the Cam Killick mysteries by years of holidays in the Norfolk Broads – during which he has never, he is pleased to say, found a dead body.
