About this Original

On the night the tide turns, a body surfaces on the Saltcombe marshes — and with it, a case the town spent twenty years pretending to forget. Detective Wren Halloway never meant to come home. Now every door she knocks on belongs to someone who knew her mother, and every answer costs more than the last. Nightjar is a slow-burning noir about the things a place will drown to stay quiet.
