A teenager is found dead on the rocks after a night of drunken revelry in a converted lighthouse. Sven uncovers a web of intricate relationships as he seeks to unravel the events of the previous night. Using his close knit team of Cornish detectives, he discovers secrets and seething resentments in a series of encounters where observation is the key to solving this mystery. Suspects include:
- the beautiful Kyomi who has a tragedy in her
past;
- Alicia, a sensitive observer of life;
- David, the victim’s boyfriend who finds other
interests;
- Carole a confident young lady with ambition;
- her boyfriend James, a handsome, rugby-
playing doctor;
- Todd, the wild child who grew up fast;
- his girlfriend Scarlett and
- Nick, the only boy is a class of pharmacy
students.
We encounter Big Porky Jewell, a larger-than-life drug dealer from London’s East End. Cat lovers will appreciate the cameo performance of the hotel feline, Topsy, probably more than Sven did.

“I thought you might like to do that” she replied provocatively.
Carole decided that it was time to excite him a little...
