For more than a decade, Inspector Jack Mowgley has been keeping a sort of rough-hewn order at Portsmouth Continental Ferry Port. Critics and those who fell foul of his notions of natural and sometimes rough justice say he regarded the port as his personal fiefdom. They are right. But times have changed, and the Police Force has become a Service. The day that a fast-track and very politically-correct female took over as his boss, The Ferry King knew his days were numbered. He was right.After an investigation, Mowgley is invited to jump before he is pushed and to take early retirement. Now he must start a new life in new surroundings. During a visit to Normandy a decade earlier, his wife had lost her heart to a ruined manor house and also to the man selling it. In the divorce she settled for the town house in Portsmouth and left Mowgley with the ruin in northern France.Now he is homeless and jobless, but has been offered a job by a former French policeman who runs a private detective agency in Northern France.Yann Cornec needs someone like Jack Mowgley to take on the agency's rapidly growing portfolio of cases involving British expatriates. He is looking for someone who speaks the same language as the expats, understands their strange ways, and knows how to handle sometimes difficult people and cases. He thinks he has found the right man in Jack Mowgley. In spite of himself, the former policeman finds himself feeling increasingly at home in a land where things are done so differently. But after a gruesome discovery at his ruined property, he also finds himself involved in a bloody territorial struggle involving drug and people smuggling, murders most foul and general mayhem...
