FROM CWA DAGGER AWARD-WINNING JIM KELLY COMES AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING CRIME MYSTERY SERIES SET ON THE SWEEPING NORFOLK COAST. Please note this book was previously published as DEATH ON DEMAND. A supermoon rises over the Norfolk coast on the eve of Ruby Bright's hundredth birthday. But Ruby will never get to celebrate. When the morning sea mist rolls in, she's found dead at the edge of Brancaster Marsh. Still in her wheelchair. Facing the sea. Suffocated with a plastic bag. Marsh House care home has keypad doors, CCTV and round-the clock nurses. No one got in or out that night - yet someone wheeled Ruby down to the water and killed her. Detectives Peter Shaw and George Valentine can't find a motive. Who murders a woman of one hundred years old. Then a search of Ruby's room turns up a single piece of evidence that changes everything. Ruby Bright was not the first victim. And unless Shaw and Valentine catch the killer in time, she won't be the last. Because the next victim is already booked to die.. This unputdownable crime mystery, laced with dark secrets, is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Caro Ramsay, Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, LJ Ross or Val McDermid. MEET THE DETECTIVES. DI Peter Shaw works in the shadow of his late father, a legend of the North Norfolk police force. A recent accident cost him the sight in one eye. Methodical, principled, and forensic to the core, he loathes the slapdash instinct and rule-breaking habits of old-fashioned coppers. Which makes his partner a problem.. DS. George Valentine. is exactly the kind of policeman Shaw can't stand. He trusts gut instinct over procedure, enjoys a drink or three, and smokes like a chimney. What's worse, he was once partner to Shaw's late father. THE SETTING. Norfolk's coast is flat and exposed, with saltmarsh and sandbank running alongside stretches of black water. Narrow coast roads thread between dykes and creeks, easily disrupted by tide, weather, or a single fallen tree. Inland, King's Lynn is all tight streets and old dockland, its medieval layout still intact while modern crime hides in plain sight. Out here, the landscape shapes every investigation.
