Publisher's Synopsis
The life of Martin Barr was narrow in scope, despite the vast expanse of Chasewater reservoir on his doorstep. The three major elements of his life, the supermarket he worked at, the small house he lived in with his mother and stepfather, and Chasewater, his favourite place to go were all within 500 yards of each other.
His tragic death came with more questions than answers. What was the motivation for killing him? And how did Jack Appleyard, suspended Police Constable with a history of his own know so much about how this happened, despite unable to access the official enquiry?
With the help (and hindrance) of friends, and strangers who become friends (and more), Jack stays one step ahead of the police, but at what cost?
