The discovery of a body floating face down in the river brings George Gently into the boating world of the Norfolk Broads. A boatbuilder has been killed with a hammer, and the investigation draws together the people, business interests and private disagreements surrounding his life. With suspects offering competing explanations and familiar local routines concealing less obvious tensions, Gently must determine which clues matter and which stories are designed to distract him. Alan Hunter uses the waterways and their close-knit communities as the setting for a traditional detective mystery, following a methodical investigator through a difficult and deceptive case.
