Thriller Crime
After a close encounter with a bomb, Detective
Superintendent Andy Dalziel recuperates at the Avalon
Clinic in the quaint seaside resort of Sandytown. But soon
he begins to suspect that those outside the convalescent
home have just as many problems as the residents. There's a psychiatrist with more to hide than his
patients, a pair of powerful landowners with very
different plans for putting the resort on the map, a
Chinese acupuncturist with a Yorkshire accent, a skinny-
dipping baronet and his ice-box sister, and a man from
Dalziel's past who ought to be dead. When someone actually does turn up dead, and under the
most macabre circumstances, Chief Inspector Peter Pascoe
is called onto the scene. Together again, Dalziel and
Pascoe investigate a baffling and complex case as further
corpses make it increasingly hard for Sandytown to justify
its claim to be "Home of the Healthy Holiday." But it's
certainly been put on the map.
