Description: "A young woman in expensive clothes is found unconscious, wet and half frozen by a local pub goer in the fenlands of coastal Lincolnshire. John Cannon and Liz Makepeace, former Scotland Yard detectives turned proprietors of The Eel Trap, give the stranger refuge. Watchful and wary, the two suspect their guest may be in serious trouble. By morning the trouble is big enough to send the woman running and bring a couple of dangerous-looking men into the pub. John and Liz trail the thugs to a local tourist site--a mistake that may prove fatal when Liz is abducted. Struggling to think like a cop, and not a desperate husband, John links the missing young lady to a powerful crime ring and a planned assassination. But time is running out for Liz, as past and present collide with deadly intent"--Publisher.
