The Long Call (Two Rivers Series, Book #1)

The Long Call (Two Rivers Series, Book #1) by Ann Cleeves

In North Devon, where two rivers converge and run into the sea, Detective Matthew Venn stands outside the church as his estranged father's funeral takes place. On the day Matthew left the strict evangelical community he grew up in, he lost his family too.

Now as he turns and walks away again, he receives a call from one of his team. A body has been found on the beach nearby: a man with a tattoo of an albatross on his neck stabbed to death.

The case calls Matthew back to the people and places of his past, as deadly secrets hidden at their hearts are revealed, and his new life is forced into a collison course with the world he thought he'd left behind.

From Ann Cleeves, bestselling author of the Shetland and Vera series, beloved by readers and TV viewers alike, comes a spectacular new novel, told with deep compassion and searing insight.
