Before long they find themselves drawn into a murder investigation when another girl is found dead on a local beach. We met the Pengelly family, unwittingly drawn in through their daughter’s involvement with the prime murder suspect and find ourselves involved in mysterious goings-on at Penvale Manor, secret meetings in the middle of the night and a race to prevent more deaths. Add spoilt twin heirs, blackmail, and strange, unexplained activity aboard the St Piran and this all makes heavy weather for Bartlett and Boase. Deception and disguise come together in the final spectacular and surprising showdown when the killer is revealed.
