From the Blurb:
Chaos reigns in the sleepy village of Aromoana when shipping containers wash up on the beach and are looted.
Detective Constable Sam Shephard knows first-hand the desperation of the scavengers - she's got the scars to prove it.
Plus a skull in the sand.
And a body pulled from the ocean.
The undercurrents from one morning's madness are far-reaching. Who else will be caught in the backwash? Can Sam stem the tide?
