About the book
If Alexandra Cupidi had chosen to go in a different direction, it would have been her who stumbled upon the dead woman instead of her daughter, Zoe.
Despite believing the report of a body on the beach to be a false alarm, D S Cupidi rushes to Folkstone with Zoe by her side to search the area. However, this time her instincts fail her and it is Zoe who makes the gruesome discovery of Mimi Greene's body on the shore.
Mimi, a regular wild swimmer with her friends, is found swimming alone in harsh weather conditions, leaving many questions unanswered. D S Cupidi must push aside her daughter's shock and uncover the truth behind Mimi's tragic death.
In the midst of the investigation, Jill Ferriter receives a surprising letter from a man named Stephen Dowles, claiming to be her long-lost father who has been imprisoned for murder for over two decades.
As D S Cupidi is occupied with the case, Jill leans on Bill South for support. Discovering Bill's connection to Stephen Dowles from a previous case, they join forces to delve into the truth behind Dowles' conviction, revisiting old allies and enemies.
The Wild Swimmers marks a thrilling return to the DI Alexandra Cupidi Series, where the waters of Folkstone hold unexpected encounters and secrets waiting to be revealed.
