Walking into the Ocean: A Peter Cammon Mystery by David Whellams (English) Paper

Description: Walking into the Ocean by David Whellams First in a trilogy following the investigations of a Scotland Yard veteran. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Veteran Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Peter Cammon, semi-retired, is sent to the Jurassic Coast to solve what at first seems to be an ordinary domestic crime involving a local mechanic. At first glance the mechanic appears to have murdered his wife and then drowned in the English Channel. But Cammon soon learns that his case is a sideshow to a broader series of murders along the cliffs that has stymied local police, and only he perceives that his assignment cannot be completed without figuring out the serial killings that threaten the region. Ranging from London, Dorset, and Devon to the island of Malta, Cammon relentlessly follows the overlapping threads of the two cases, until both investigations reach their climax on the rugged cliffs overlooking the Channel. Author Biography David Whellams is a writer in criminal law with 30 years of experience, amending the criminal code in such areas as dangerous offenders and terrorism. He lives in Ottawa, Ontario. Review "Builds to a dramatic and suspenseful climax. The authors refreshingly clear-eyed portrayal of his hero ... is a plus." -- Publishers Weekly"Dont miss this engrossing and complex debut, the first volume in a projected trilogy.
