Whitby, 1894. The sea brings fortune - and death.
When Sir Bernard Blackwood is found dead in his locked study, the door bolted from within, Inspector Elias Harrington is sent from Scarborough to close what seems an open-and-shut suicide. But in a town bound by tides and silence, nothing is as it appears.
From the windswept ruins of Whitby Abbey to the smuggler-haunted docks, Harrington uncovers a web of opium shipments, coded ledgers, and dangerous liaisons. Every lead points to a truth someone will kill to protect - and as the storm rises, so does the body count.
Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom, Anne Perry, and Wilkie Collins, Murder by the Abbey combines the atmosphere of gothic Victorian England with the tight suspense of a locked-room whodunit. Rich with historical detail, it's the first in a series of Unsolved Isles mysteries, where Inspector Harrington faces crimes as unforgiving as the North Sea.
Will Harrington unmask the killer before the tide washes away the last traces of evidence - or will Whitby claim another secret for its depths?
Step into the shadows of history. The investigation begins...
