Walking into the Ocean
In the debut mystery featuring veteran Scotland Yard Chief Inspector Peter Cammon, what seems like a simple domestic crime turns out to be a series of murders ravaging a peaceful English coastal community.

The semi-retired Cammon is sent to the Jurassic Coast to investigate a case: a woman murdered and her mechanic husband, the likely suspect, drowned in the English Channel. But Cammon soon discovers that his investigation is a sideshow to a string of killings along the cliffs that has stymied local police. The only way to solve this one murder is to figure out the serial killings that terrorize the region. The detective travels from London, Dorset, and Devon to the island of Malta, relentlessly following the overlapping threads of the two cases to their shocking climax. The first installment in a series of three, this cliffhanger sets a chilling tone for the British sleuth’s forthcoming mysteries.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"[T]he plot builds to a dramatic and suspenseful climax. The author's refreshingly clear-eyed portrayal of his hero ('Peter Cammon felt superior to psychology, in the way that many people do who have never studied it') is a plus." —Publishers Weekly (February 13, 2012)

"Don't miss this engrossing and complex debut, the first volume in a projected trilogy. . . . It's perfect for those who love travel and history mixed with crime." —Library Journal (April 2012)

"Whellams has written the most ambitious Canadian crime novel in years. . . . Chief Inspector Peter Cammon . . . is a terrific character, and the plot, combining two kinds of murder on England's southern coast, is baffling in all the right ways." —Toronto Star (January 27, 2013)
