Overview

"The corpse of a beautiful woman, clad only in a bathing suit, is found on a popular Sussex beach at the end of a hot, sunny day. Apparently, she was murdered in full view of dozens of other holiday makers. Establishing the victim's identity is difficult but when it is finally learned that she was a Bath resident, Inspector Peter Diamond is called in." "Diamond, the gruff individualist, must cooperate with Henrietta Mallin, the original senior investigating officer. Yet a third policeman enters the picture, a cocky young officer who is highly regarded by his superiors if not by Diamond. Several national celebrities have been targeted by a serial killer whom the police refer to as the Mariner because he leaves notes with a quotation from Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" as his signature. The powers that be attempt to forestall Diamond's efforts lest he impede the search for the Mariner."--BOOK JACKET.
