Someone disliked Eddathorpe’s distinguished industrialist Sir Jeremy Blatt
enough to bash him on the head, pack him into a lorry and despatch him on
a North Sea ferry…
Detective Chief Inspector Robert Graham has too many suspects: several
wives, one of them Sir Jeremy’s own; the exploited employees of his frozen-
chicken empire; a son who despised him; even a policeman…And that is
without taking into account the animal rights protests and the unwanted help
from Ron Hacker, Graham’s favourite ex-detective superintendent, newly
installed as Blatt’s security chief.
Graham picks his way through a sorry story of cold-blooded murder, warm
blooded love and unchecked greed to uncover a solution that surprises even
him.

A solution as clever as any I've read this year. D.I. Graham, with his homicidal Lakeland terrier, is an unconventional copper from the same breed as Frost and Morse. On this form, he should win fans and keep them.
Flynn has created an excellent detective and a memorable setting...extremely talented.
Expertly done...Some very satisfactory policing set against acridly detailed background of out-of-season holiday town.
He gives the police procedural an insider's expertise, including in-jokes
