## Description

At sea, the danger can't be escaped... Classic crime fiction from the 1960s set around a Thames mooring. 'Compton has been one of Britain's most original and consistent novelists since the late Sixties, but he has never received the attention he deserves... Compton's prose is fine-tuned, his human insights sharp, and his narrative pace filled with the weird synchronicities and dissonances of how violent things usually happen' INDEPENDENT
