A teenage girl. A storm-lashed coast. A secret worth killing for.

When a young girl's body washes up on the Southend shoreline, DI Sue Palmer knows it's no accident. The injuries don't match the tide. The chemical traces don't belong. And the developer driving the new waterfront project? He's not just building -- he's burying.

As the pressure mounts, Palmer's team starts to fracture. DC Ecrin Kaplan is sharp but reckless. DS Mark Simmons returns with unfinished business. And the deeper they dig, the more "accidents" they uncover -- each tied to one powerful name.

Soon, Kaplan is missing. Surveillance goes off-book. And Palmer must decide how far she's willing to go before the killer strikes again.

"Gripping. Cinematic. Impossible to put down."

The Drowned Girl is a razor-sharp British crime thriller with forensic bite, emotional depth, and a twist that hits hard. No gangs. No gimmicks. Just a detective who won't look away -- and a case that cuts deep.

Fans of Val McDermid, Robert Bryndza, and Ann Cleeves will be hooked.
