The Swimmer

Joseph George is a burned out ex-detective turned novelist with a burning desire to get away from it all. After witnessing the disappearance and subsequent death of an anonymous swimmer in the wild seas raging outside his seaside cottage, Joe becomes embroiled in the dark past that looms over the area.

Local journalist May Jones covers the death for the local paper and finds herself dropped into a puzzle, the jagged pieces of which threaten to expose a sinister truth behind an ancient and horrifying accident.

Together, they uncover the truth and reveal the past.

Set in a wild, coastal landscape famed for murderous smugglers, plundered shipwrecks and ghostly tin mines, the story weaves through the backdrop of far West Cornwall, a land drenched in the blood of forgotten men.
