Walking the cliffs of Cornwall in an attempt to recover from his loss, the last thing Thomas Lynley expects to find is a body.

At first sight, the young man seems to have died in a climbing accident. But soon, against his every intention, Lynley finds himself drawn into a murder inquiry. This time, as a potential suspect . . .
