Bleak Encounter at the Cape is a thriller novel from author Richard Trahair.
A Coastwatch volunteer makes a dramatic find. He discovers a corpse on the rocky shore.
He and his equally resourceful wife decide to investigate the mysterious death themselves. After all, what's the worst that can happen?
Quite a good deal as it happens.
For soon the couple themselves to be trapped in a burgeoning international conspiracy of threats and intimidation that put the lives of a great many people at risk.
The police become involved as the couple make their way across Europe as far as Lake Geneva in Switzerland and back home again to Cornwall for a dramatic and shocking conclusion back on the coast of West Cornwall.
Will they survive? Will the guilty be brought to justice?
It's an exciting novel and I hope to see more books from Richard who makes good use of his intimate knowledge of Cornwall for the backdrop of this novel.
It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
I am updating this review to point out that the author is donating profits from book sales to the National Coastwatch Institution. For details of this highly valuable organisation please visit https://www.nci.org.uk/
