Summary
When a worker goes missing from a North Sea gas platform, there seem to be just two possible explanations - it was a tragic accident or a suicide. It does not take Smith and his detectives long, however, to discover that James Bell led a double life back onshore in Kings Lake, a life complicated enough to make him at least one dangerous enemy. Before the case can be unraveled, Smith must get a new team working together; Waters and Murray are still there, but one of Wilson's men is transferred to him, and the female detective constable from Longmarsh poses some unexpected problems for her new sergeant. Together they begin to investigate the links between the companies and the people that bring ashore the oil and gas, and they also find themselves caught up in the seamier side of life that exists beneath Lake's everyday comings and goings. Jo Evison begins to delve more deeply into the story of the Andretti murders, and Smith himself has to face the fact that he might no longer be considered fit for duty.

DS Smith grows on you
Having usually chosen more gritty detectives - I'm feeling rather surprised at how beguiling D C Smith is becoming. His off beat but gentle humour and his problem solving processes are delightful. A word to the narrator - though quite competent generally some pronunciations are a bit off and he could certainly do with a tour of 'the toon' in order to make realistic inroads into a 'Geordie' accent. ( Afraid it was completely dreadful)

Another excellent read (and listen) from Peter Grainger and Gildart Jackson is perfect, thank you both.

A gem
I really loved this book. My 3rd book in the series and I now feel either an affinity and affection for the characters or a sympathetic dislike!
Can’t recommend Peter Grainger and DC too highly!

Brilliant book!
I just love the characters, especially DC, and how they interact. Performance is brilliant and it suits the content to a T. I will carry on listening to this series.

Love Peters books.
This is the 3rd book I’ve listened to and have loved all three. DC Smith is just a loveable character and his dry wit keeps me smiling chapter through chapter. Excellent stories and great plots make these books a really enjoyable listen.

My new favourite detective.
On to my third straight book and have enjoyed every word. Witty well thought out character in DC, unusual plots and no gratuitous violence for a change. Can’t wait for the next one.
