Death Do Us Part by James Mortain

Death Do Us Part by James Mortain

A blissful setting. A dream life. The perfect murder.

When a beautiful married socialite vanishes from her husband's luxury yacht, Detective Inspector Robbie Chilcott must find her-dead or alive.

Fearing the worst-case scenario, Chilcott focuses on the victim's eccentric yet evasive husband, who maintains his wife is not missing and is visiting family. But Chilcott doesn't buy into the feeble alibi and predicts a fatal outcome and the daunting prospect of locating a lost body at sea.

Struggling to pin his prime suspect with the ultimate crime, alarming news from France flips the case on its head and forces Chilcott to view the married couple in a new light. Suddenly, Chilcott realises that a luxurious life on the ocean waves isn't all caviar and Champagne parties, and he is diving headlong into a clandestine world of secrets and lies, lust and deceit.

As the web of treachery darkens, far-away horizons hold clues to the mysterious disappearance. But in the lavish circles of super yachts and abundance, Chilcott discovers that life is cheap and power is everything.

Can Chilcott untangle the fa ade of reality before the vows of love become a prelude to the perfect crime?

DEATH DO US PART is the addictive second novel in this fast-paced British crime thriller series written by a former CID detective.

This book is full of page-turning action and gripping suspense, perfect for fans of JD Kirk, David J. Gatward, Alex Scarrow, J M Dalgliesh, TG Reid, Simon McCleave, and Rhys Dylan.

Mortain, James D.: - Former CID Detective with the Avon and Somerset Constabulary turned crime fiction writer, James D Mortain brings compelling action and gritty authenticity to his writing through years of police experience. He began writing in 2012, following a chance encounter in a Bath bar with SAS veteran, TV personality and author, Chris Ryan. James wanted to create a main protagonist in Detective 'Deano' Deans whose strengths and vulnerabilities were in equal measure, but frequently at odds. Using his own real-life experience within a busy CID department, James has created an atmospheric, powerful, gripping and often emotional story of life, love, loss, and a touch of the miraculous. James grew up and worked in the Bath area of Somerset until he moved to North Devon in 2012, where he still lives with his family and a crazy dog. He is a life-long Bath Rugby supporter and longs for the glory days to return.
