If only Alexandra Cupidi had turned south instead of north, she would have found the dead woman.
Instead it is her vulnerable daughter Zoë who stumbles across Mimi Greene’s lifeless body on the shoreline.
A regular wild swimmer with a group of close friends, it’s out of character for Mimi to have been swimming alone, especially in bad weather. D S Cupidi starts to suspect this is more than just an accidental drowning.
Meanwhile, her friend and colleague Jill Ferriter receives a mysterious letter from a man who claims to be her father. Steven Dowles has been in prison for the last twenty years, convicted of two brutal and senseless murders.
With Cupidi obsessed by the death of Mimi Greene, Jill must lean on Bill South to uncover the facts around Dowles’ conviction, revisiting old colleagues and criminals.
The Wild Swimmers is an explosive return to the DI Alexandra Cupidi Series, where the shores of the South Kent expose deadly secrets.
