Skye Maddox came home to Cornwall for the quiet life. Not a chance.
When pro surfer Jake Weston takes a fatal wipeout at the Kerris Bay Surf Festival, everyone sees a tragedy. Skye knows water. She sees something else entirely.
Her father, DCI Dan Maddox, tells her to stay out of it. She doesn't, which surprises neither of them.
While Dan handles the official investigation, Skye assembles the kind of team that makes real detectives nervous: Jess, the best barista in Kerris Bay, a local blogger who treats other people's secrets as a personal challenge, and a tech genius from Gadget Galaxy who is considerably more comfortable with drones than he is with people.
Kerris Bay has charm, Atlantic views, and apparently a murder problem.
A warm, ensemble Cornish mystery for anyone who likes their crime fiction funny, their settings real, and their investigators more Kerris Bay than Scotland Yard.

Person
David White writes mysteries and thrillers that blend sharp characters with immersive settings. His debut series, The George Penn Adventures, transports readers to 1920s Great Britain, where the sharp-witted problem-solver George Penn and former wartime nurse Morwenna Price tackle threats beyond the reach of conventional law enforcement. The first book, Crimson Agenda, is available in paperback, hardback, and Kindle, with Book 2, The Salzburg Cipher, having been released in December 2025.
In January 2026, White introduces a bold new heroine to the mystery world: Skye Maddox, a sharp-tongued ex-professional surfer turned surf shack owner in the picturesque coastal town of Kerris Bay, Cornwall. When the annual Surf Festival rolls into town, Skye's pursuit of the quiet life is swept away by murder, mayhem, and mystery.
White's writing combines meticulous period detail with the pace and tension of contemporary thrillers. Whether you're drawn to the glamour and danger of the 1920s or the sun-soaked intrigue of modern Cornwall, his stories deliver unforgettable characters and page-turning suspense.
