The body of teenager, Mandy Courtin, is found on the rocks at North Head along with a suicide note. As Detective Inspector Stephen French meets with the parents, little does he know this note will unravel a trail of school and Facebook bullying, underage sex, rape and cover ups. Why is visiting Chief Superintendent Tom Heinz, from the New York City Police Department Homicide Detectives so concerned about the dead girl?
When the body of a young man washes up on Little Manly Cove, Detective Inspector Georgia Show is surprised to find a piece of green rope around his wrist. This looks to be an accidental drowning, but is it? A yellow kayak washes up at Dee Why Beach; can this hold the clue to what really happened? Is there any connection between the drowning and the suicide? What is happening on Sydney's Northern Beaches?
A Lifesaver's Secret is the second in the Manly Murders series by Gunilla Haglundh, who has a knack for taking the reader through a tale of seemingly unconnected people, events, family secrets and social media bullying. There is definitely more to the green rope clue. This novel is guaranteed to keep you guessing until the last page.
