A new start shadowed by an old crime
Set in the Dorset hamlet of West Bay in 1952, The Beachcomber brings together two outsiders seeking refuge after profound upheaval. Tom Arnold arrives carrying the aftermath of a fatal car attack that killed his wife and children, while Kathy Wilson leaves a painful divorce and family conflict behind after inheriting a neglected local house. Their hopes for a quieter life unfold against suspicion, jealousy and the continuing danger posed by an unidentified killer. The novel combines a seaside fresh-start setting with bereavement, fractured family ties and a threat that reaches into the community.

Another page-turning story of tragedy and triumph from the No.1 bestselling author of The Loner and The Journey.
In the summer of 1952, two lonely people arrive in the pretty seaside hamlet of West Bay. Strangers coming from very different backgrounds, they are there for the same reasons: to find peace of mind and the chance to start a new life.
Tom Arnold has abandoned all his possessions and walked away from a highly paid job. A year ago, he had a wife and two beautiful children, when suddenly his world was turned upside-down. The car he was driving with his family was deliberately run off the road high above the cliffs. He was the only survivor. The driver - who Tom is sure intended to kill them all - has never been found.
Kathy Wilson has tried to cling on to her zest for life through times of pain and loneliness. Recovering from her divorce, she seeks comfort in the arms of other men. But a shocking, revealing row with her mother is the final straw, and when she inherits a rundown house in West Bay, she flees to Dorset.
For both Tom and Kathy, it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Yet even now, someone means to undermine their search for happiness. People are jealous. And a brutal killer is still on the loose... Suddenly West Bay is no longer the peaceful place it seemed...
