Ann Cleeves The Raging Storm - Crime & Mystery Paperback | 416 Pages | Main Market Edition

Fierce winds, howling seas, and deadly secrets converge in The Raging Storm, the third gripping mystery featuring Detective Matthew Venn from Ann Cleeves, the number one bestselling crime author and creator of Vera and Shetland.

When Jem Rosco, a sailor and local legend, arrives in Greystone, Devon, during an autumn gale, he is welcomed as a celebrity. His subsequent disappearance seems typical of his adventurous nature, until the lifeboat is launched to a hoax call-out during a raging storm and his body is discovered in a dinghy off Scully Cove, a place steeped in its own legends.

This case becomes deeply personal for DI Matthew Venn, who has past ties to the remote village and its community, the Barum Brethren. As superstition and rumour intertwine, and another body is found in the cove, Venn's judgment is tested. With the village cut off by stormy winds, Venn and his team race against time to solve the mystery, unaware that their own lives may be in danger.

This novel is now a major ITV series, The Long Call, starring Ben Aldridge.
