William Shaw
'Crime fiction at its very best, a knotty mystery' Elly Griffiths
'Terrific … Perhaps his best yet' Ann Cleeves
A scorching summer
Down in the seaside town of Teignmouth, ex-Met detective Eden Driscoll grows restless after a long summer caring for his nine-year-old nephew.
A desperate plea
When a man knocks at Eden’s door desperate for help, claiming someone is trying to kill him, Eden jumps at the chance to solve a mystery. But before he can ask more questions, the stranger disappears.
A deadly fire
His cry for help came too late – that same night a house along the coast is burnt to the ground and a man’s remains are discovered among the rubble. Eden soon he finds himself digging into the case, only to uncover a web of deception, jealousy, and corruption.
Critic reviews
‘I’ve always loved Shaw’s writing – the clarity of the prose and the terrific characterisation – but I think The Red Shore is perhaps his best yet’ Ann Cleeves
‘The Red Shore is crime fiction at its very best, a knotty mystery combined with a compelling personal story, set in a beautifully evoked landscape. I can’t wait to read more about Eden Driscoll’ Elly Griffiths
‘Shaw proves, once again, that he is the undisputed king of seaside noir’ Vaseem Khan
‘A gripping and wonderful thriller – and what a treat to know it is the first in a series’ Nicci French
‘William Shaw is yet to write a bad sentence, and The Red Shore continues that remarkable trend. Expertly paced with beautifully drawn characters, William weaves a plot that’s twistier than a cramping snake into the stunning setting of a small Devon fishing town. Highly recommended’ M. W. Craven
