The Drowned Man
“Tightly plotted and featuring a lead character who keeps us glued to the page, the book should definitely suit readers looking for an intriguing lead character and a solid mystery.” — Booklist
A retired Scotland Yard detective is lured back to work in “a series to follow, particularly for Louise Penny fans and the Masterpiece Mystery set.” (Library Journal)
Chief Inspector Peter Cammon is supposed to be retired, but he’s reluctantly agreed to travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered colleague. And once he’s involved, he can’t resist delving into the oddities of the crime.
His fellow cop was brutally attacked, run over by a car, and then dumped into a canal — all seemingly linked to the theft of three letters from the American Civil War era, one of which may have been signed by John Wilkes Booth . . .
“Whellams’s sophomore entry (after Walking into the Ocean) sweeps the reader away with its elaborate plot, insightful observations about human character, and genuine spy adventure. This title can be read as a stand-alone, but take my word for it, this is a series to follow particularly for Louise Penny fans.” — Library Journal
“Author David Whellams fields crisp yet compassionate dialogue that puts the reader inside Cammon’s struggle to adjust to a personal life again after a long career in which it went to seed. Whellams brilliantly captures volleys of danger and suspense that penetrate the fog hanging over the ex-detective’s life. Detective Cammon’s retirement makes for a book to enjoy.” — Hamilton Spectator
