When a crab pot is hauled from the grey waters off St Petroc, it brings more than the day's catch.

Inside the wire mesh, wedged at an unnatural angle, is the body of local fisherman Tom Hendry.

DS Jack Penrose knows these waters. He knows the boats, the tides, and the men who work them. He also knows Tom Hendry didn't drown by accident. The knots are wrong-machine-tied, not a fisherman's work. The rope is cheap chandler's stock, not proper gear. And Tom was too experienced to make mistakes.

But when a second fisherman washes up dead, and then a third, the pattern becomes clear: someone is systematically eliminating the men who stood against an 80 million marina development. Three murders. Three weeks. Three families destroyed.

As a November storm closes in and political pressure mounts, Penrose must navigate the treacherous currents of small-town corruption, where a property developer's greed has turned deadly, and the price of progress is measured in lives.

The evidence is there-in paint scrapings, GPS coordinates, and the wrong kind of rope. But can Penrose prove it before the killer slips away on the next tide?

THE DEEP WATER introduces DS Jack Penrose in the first of the Jack Penrose Crime Thrillers-atmospheric Cornwall noir as dark as the Atlantic depths.
