A sinking boat is spotted a few miles off the south coast.

Waiting onboard, is a grisly discovery.

​DCI Bill Boyd - recently relocated from London to Hastings - is now with the East Sussex CID and his first case is that of a local business man and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel.

All that remains of them is a grisly discovery aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.

Silent Tide is the first in a brand new crime series from Alex Scarrow
