After the Storm
What you need to know before your trail
When local couple Andrew and Sophie take their daughter and her friend to the beach on a stormy day, they are momentarily distracted leading both children to get washed out to sea. Andrew dives in, but comes back ashore with only one child – his own daughter, Maria. Joe, the son of his best friend and local police officer, Chris, has drowned. But it was just a tragic accident…wasn’t it?
As Sergeant Mike Adams and DS Sue Willmott investigate what really happened in the water that afternoon, the ripple effects of the tragedy tear the community apart. The detectives must discover the truth before their colleague – bereaved and desperate father, Chris – takes the investigation into his own hands…
Travel Guide
Beachbrook. Kent
A fictional seaside town
“Beachbrook was a typical tourist town, packed to the rafters with holiday makers in the summer, but deserted and left to the locals in winter. Local businesses prospered in the warm months but were shuttered to the cold.”
“In those summer months, though, the town lived and breathed as if she was alive. She was beautiful, her vistas and horizons postcard perfect. Her perfume was vinegar from the chippy and sugar-dusted doughnuts. She played a melody of seagulls squawking and excited children running on her golden sands while, behind them, the drum of the breaking waves thumped just like a beating heart.”
