Myra
Swinley is convinced that her police constable husband’s death was no
accident, and that he would never have lost his footing on a dark, foggy
November night on the quayside of Newhaven Harbour while on his beat.
Determined to get to the truth she visits Scotland Yard to ask his
former friend, Detective Superintendent Street, to investigate. Street
says they have no basis to do so, but when Myra fails to return home
from her visit to the Yard, Inspector Ryga is sent down to the Sussex
coast to investigate.
Accompanied by former war photographer, Eva Paisley, who has been airlifted back to England after suffering a wound incurred in Korea, Ryga’s investigation soon begins to uncover some puzzling facts. Painstakingly, and with Eva’s assistance, Ryga begins to unravel the mystery of why an ordinary police constable was murdered and his sensible law-abiding wife has gone missing.
