"When the body of a local boat tour operator is found on the beach beside Llandudno Pier, it seems that her murder might be linked to an ongoing rivalry with a new boat tour company. However, when it's discovered that the victim had recently started a relationship with a much younger man, the focus of the investigation changes. When another body is discovered hidden on a boat, Ruth and her team are forced to re-evaluate the case. With time running out, Ruth realises that the victim's plans for a new life might just be the key to finding the killer." -- back cover.
