Retirement was supposed to be bliss. Peaceful, at the very least. For former Detective Chief Inspector Theodore Chase, swapping crime scenes for Cornish sea air seemed like a fair trade—especially for his long-suffering wife, Hannah. But when a grisly murder rocks the sleepy town of Camborne, it doesn’t just disturb the peace… it practically sends it packing. Because the killer? Chase is almost certain he’s seen their work before. Officially retired and very much not invited, Chase does what any stubborn ex-detective would do—gets involved anyway. Only this time, he’s not leading a polished police unit. Instead, he finds himself at the helm of a delightfully unconventional team: a sharp-tongued pensioner with a talent for gossip, her granddaughter with unsettling (and oddly useful) insights, and a struggling private detective duo who need a win—fast. Between cryptic letters, a suspicious “suicide” that won’t stay buried, whispers of corruption, and a missing fortune in fine art, Chase quickly realises this isn’t just one case… it’s three, all tangled together. As the bodies pile up and the stakes rise, this unlikely band of misfits must outthink a cunning killer, dodge trouble at every turn, and somehow keep it all together—no small feat when half the team don’t play by the rules and the other half barely know what the rules are. Because in Camborne, retirement isn’t the end of the story… It’s just the beginning of the chaos.
