Two journalists, one mystery, and a partnership built on the front lines of local news.
In the tradition of the great investigative duos, The Cornish Snapper introduces Lammoran and Hamilton - the Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of West Country journalism. It is 2002, and when this veteran reporter and young photographer are sent to cover a routine story they find that, in the world of regional news, the most explosive secrets are often hidden in plain sight.
While Hamilton's instincts lead the way, it is Lammoran's steady lens, newly introduced digital camera gear, and acute powers of observation that bring the truth into focus. Together, they navigate a web of rural intrigue that spans the rugged Atlantic coast and bleak moors of West Penwith and the quiet creeks of southern Cornwall.
Written by veteran journalist Martin Hesp, this novel is both a fast-paced mystery and a love letter to a vanishing era of news-gathering. It captures the wit, grit, and enduring bond of two journalists who know that behind every headline lies a story that someone wants to keep buried.
