Description
Inspector Henry Tibbett and his wife, Emmy, are enjoying a holiday on a friend's yacht, lazily sailing from one little English sea-town to the next.
It should all be delicious indolence... except that Tibbett can't stop thinking about death. Well, one death in particular. The death of a local sailor.
And he really can't stop thinking about it when it starts looking as though the drowned sailor is somehow connected to the robbery at a nearby manor house.
The Sunken Sailor offers an intriguing blend of leisurely vacation and compelling mystery that draws you in with every turn of the page.
