A cold wet January night, the body of
a man stabbed through the heart, is found tangled up in fishing nets in Brixham Harbour, Devon.
After a series of startling revelations, Scotland Yard's Inspector Ryga is tasked to discover why the dead man who left the town eleven years ago has returned and why someone hated him enough to murder him.

Former war photographer, Eva Paisley, insists that Scotland Yard
detective, Inspector Ryga, return with her to the Devon coast where she
has been staying with a friend, a former refugee from Belgium. Eva
remains tight-lipped about the reason, saying only that she’s puzzled
and concerned over something she has heard since arriving there a week
ago. Ryga, off duty for the weekend, is only too pleased to escape
London for the sea air and spend time in Eva’s company. She takes him to
a house in the fishing port of Brixham where the son of her friend is
adamant that he’s seen a body on the shore ‘all bashed up’. Eva claims
the little boy has been talking of nothing more for a week. The boy’s
mother dismisses it as an over-active imagination but Eva’s not
convinced. Now the child is adamant the body he saw was on the very
night of their arrival. Ryga asks the child to take them to the
location, not expecting to see anything, but is stunned to find the
child has been telling the truth; on the dark shore, on the wet January
night is indeed the body of a man, stabbed through the heart and tangled
up in fishing nets. After making some preliminary enquiries, Ryga, who
has no jurisdiction to investigate, has to hand the case over to the
local police. Very soon though, after a series of startling revelations,
he is summoned back to Devon to discover why the dead man who left the
town eleven years ago has returned and why someone hated him enough to
murder him.
