Two cops in recovery. A brutal murder on a dangerous island. A secret history that threatens everything.
Constable Laura Romano is in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction and her partner - Jim Harris - is her sponsor. Both of them are stationed on Tunnel Island, a tropical paradise with a dark, seedy underbelly. When a dead body washes up on the island: Harris springs into action. Meanwhile, Romano follows the trail of a mysterious parcel sent to her house. As the two mysteries start to collide, Romano and Harris find themselves on opposing sides of dangerous island politics.
In a gritty tale of surveillance, corruption and dark alliances, Harsh Recovery showcases Iain Ryan's fast-paced style and heralds the arrival of a new voice in hardboiled noir.
