About this title

Synopsis

Meet Detective Matthew Venn.

From Ann Cleeves, the Sunday Times bestselling creator of Vera Stanhope and Shetland's Jimmy Perez, The Long Call is the number one bestselling first novel in the Two Rivers series. Now a major ITV series.

North Devon. Where the rivers Taw and Torridge converge and run into the sea, Detective Matthew Venn stands outside the church as his father's funeral takes place. The day Matthew turned his back on the strict evangelical community in which he grew up, he lost his family too.

Now he's back, not just to mourn his father at a distance, but to take charge of his first major case in the Two Rivers region; a complex place not quite as idyllic as tourists suppose.

A body has been found on the beach near to Matthew's new home: a man with the tattoo of an albatross on his neck, stabbed to death.

Finding the killer is Venn’s only focus, and his team’s investigation will take him straight back into the community he left behind, and the deadly secrets that lurk there.

'Stunning' – David Baldacci, author of The 6:20 Man

'One of Britain's best crime writers' – Daily Express

The Long Call is the first entry in the Two Rivers series. Continue the mysteries with The Heron's Cry.
