As dusk falls on an English summer, a detective interviews a stranger with a sinister story to tell. Among the sands of an Egyptian desert, a tourist buys a souvenir which is not quite as it seems. On the sparkling waters of the Scilly Isles, a boating trip turns deadly. It might be the height of summer, but in the midday sun - it's murder. These ten tales of murder, mystery and mayhem make for perfect beach reading - in the latest addition to a series that has sold over 250,000 copies.
