About the book
The fourth installment in the DS Alexandra Cupidi Investigations series, "The Trawlerman" by a renowned crime fiction writer, has been named a Shots Mag Book of the Year.
The story begins with the grisly discovery of the bodies of Aylmer and Mary Younis in their home, with only a cryptic note and a sighting of spectral figures at the scene as clues. Officer Jill Ferriter takes on the case, as Cupidi is on a break due to PTSD.
The investigation uncovers a complex scam involving the couple's investment in a green reforestry project in Guatemala, which also ensnared their friend Bill South. As Cupidi digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies within the fishing community of Folkestone.
Despite warnings to stay away from police work, Cupidi becomes entangled in the case, leading to a deadly conflict as personal ties blur her judgement. "The Trawlerman" is a gripping tale of deception set against the backdrop of the eerie Kent coastline, exploring themes of corruption, mental health, and human relationships.
