    Summary

    When a hotel owner lures Strike to Cornwall with the promise of a quick weekend job, he reluctantly agrees. But as he and Robin arrive in a remote town in Penwith, what seemed like a simple case of vandalism quickly spirals into something far more eerie and harrowing.

    And of course, there's also Strike's confession that's been left unaddressed – and neither partner seems willing to break their stalemate.
