● "It's a near perfect summer in the coastal town of Birchiam, the weather fine, the sea dead calm. But swimmers keep on disappearing, never to be seen again. And when journalist Rob Monham finds a strange small creature washed up on the shore, it takes him on the route to a discovery more terrible than anyone could possibly imagine." ― quoted from this book's Amazon product page as of 2025-06-03
