Description

Format: Mass Market Paperback, 432pp. ISBN: 0451409361 Publisher: N A L Pub. Date: September 2000 Edition Desc: REISSUE From the Publisher Seabourne house looks like the set of a romantic film of the forties or fifties, but Melrose is unprepared for the onslaught of memories it triggers. And in examining his own past, he is caught up in the tragic past of the Bletchley family. The village itself is dominated by a stately home turned hospice (providential for Detective Sergeant Alfred Wiggins), thanks to the billionaire Morris Bletchley, the American developer of a chain of fast food eateries and owner of Seabourne. With Richard Jury sent on a fool's errand to Northern Ireland, Melrose turns to Brian Macalvie for help when Johnny's aunt, Chris Wells, disappears. Macalvie, a commander in the Devon and Cornwall police, is conducting his own investigation into the murder of a woman on a public footpath near the hamlet of Lamorna Cove. Macalvie and Melrose repair to Lamorna's single pub, The Wink, and here the intrepid and intense Brian Macalvie reveals a side of himself he'd just as soon had stayed buried up in Scotland. Macalvie's past, Plant's past, and the tragic past of the Bletchleys converge at the end with Richard Jury, who comes to help set things to rights.
