"Ex-detective" - remember that! "Jake Pettman" Jake is another name for Jack in these stories; it isn't any better. "...has left the UK behind and sought refuge in a small Maine community." Because gods forbid we should have a novel set anywhere other than the USA. "But his hopes for a quiet existence are dashed when the decades-old remains of a young schoolgirl wash up on a riverbank — and everyone in his new town seems to be hiding something." What the hell business is it of his? None! Let the local police deal with it you meddling little prick! Geeze!
