Cam Killick Norfolk Mysteries

Nobody ever knew what happened to the Brindleys. One summer they were there - flashy, loud and beautiful - and then they were gone. A mother, father and two children, vanished into the East Anglian night. Some said the family never made it home from the party; their speeding car thrown off the tracks and the four of them silently buried in the marshes. Others said they had simply moved on. For thirty years, the case remained as cold as the freezing waterways of the Norfolk broads. Until Cam Killick found the car.

Cam Killick finding the knife could have been nothing. People lose much stranger things in Norfolk's waterways all the time and, as a salvage diver, it is Cam's job to find them. But the stain on the blade suggests a different story - and a discreet favour from DS Claire Rogers of the Norfolk police yields a horrifying truth: at some point in the last few days, this knife stabbed someone through the heart. While Cam previously helped Rogers and the police with cold cases, this one couldn't be hotter.

Another day on the Norfolk Broads, and another underwater problem for salvage diver Cam Killick to solve. Today, it's removing the huge rock jamming the mechanism of a crucial swing bridge. The knots have been double checked; the winches are set. And then the 'rock' splits apart, revealing the bodies of two people, partially mummified, curled into each other, clearly having died in each other's arms. This chilling discovery is now a problem for DI Claire Rogers of the Norfolk CID - but Cam can't let it go.
