TWO SHIPS IN THE NIGHT ANOTHER DEAD BODY NO SAFE HARBOUR

A wave lifts the stern of the boat rigging groans in protest and a crash comes from down below as the wails of the cargo rise above the howl of the storm

Its a wild Christmas Day on the rugged Northern Irish coast But theres no time for turkey and pud with the family for Detectives Harvey and Birch

DS Aaron Birch leans into the wind and driving sleet Thick scudding clouds make the streets of Lisburn almost as dark as early evening

Then he gets the tipoff Smugglers coming into a boatyard in Bangor

Birch and DI Asha Harvey head to the marina They expect to find drugs But the evidence points to something far far worse

When one of the couriers is found murdered in his hotel room they realize they are facing in a deadly storm of corruption and criminal depravity Will they sink or swim
