A sudden procession of larger waves.

A flash of hair in the sunlight.

Then the sea. Only the sea.

When Coastguard Officer Jen Grundel discovers a dangerous secret about the Blyndsea Bay lifeboat, she is driven by an earlier tragedy to investigate.

Shunned by her colleagues and rocked by news that could mean the end of the East Coast lifeboat station, she plunges into the treacherous waves of conspiracy and crime that threaten to engulf her home town – and her family.

Jen knows that you ignore the sea's blind reach at your peril, even if it means ditching the rulebook and putting yourself in the firing line.
