Synopsis of A Long-Dead Thing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In A Long-Dead Thing, when a raid on a gang of people smugglers in Aberdeen goes wrong, impulsive Police Scotland detective DI Harrison Baird<\/a> faces the worst punishment imaginable: relocation to England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted in the sleepy seaside town of Southwold, and partnered with the apparently clueless DC Connie Connell, Baird<\/a> finds himself in a world that\u2019s totally different to the gritty Scottish streets he\u2019s used to. Here, the biggest problem seems to be what topping to put on his ice cream, and how to avoid eating DI Henry Crump\u2019s awful fish pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beneath the surface, the Suffolk coast hides a terrifying darkness. One night, a body is washed ashore\u2014a long-dead thing\u2014and in its eye is a silver coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When more bodies follow, each murdered more brutally than the last, Baird<\/a> realises that he\u2019s arrived just in time to face a ruthless serial killer\u2014one who seems to be targeting members of a powerful local crime family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clear that things down south are not always what they seem. And sometimes, even in the most peaceful of places, you need to play hardball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
