In this second mystery featuring Chief Inspector Peter Cammon, the veteran detective is called out of retirement once again. His assignment appears simple: travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered Scotland Yard colleague. But Peter cannot resist delving into the oddities of the crime. The Drowned Man reacquaints readers with characters from Walking Into the Ocean (ECW, 2012, available from Turnaround) as well as introduces Maddy, Peter's daughter-in-law whose amateur sleuthing back in England proves pivotal in cracking the case.
