Had never read a naval mystery before but this was brilliant, I really enjoyed the story it had excitement, suspense and a murder mystery running through it.
Bill Guth was a submarine lieutenant back in 1983 aboard the Alexander Hamilton during the cold War but when the order is given for a nuclear strike he has suspicions something has gone wrong and goes against orders and in the aftermath a friend and crew member dies.
Now Bill has left the navy and is being interviewed by Sam Bowen for a book about nuclear near misses but then Sam is murdered and suspicion falls on Bill's daughter Alice as she went to visit him at the pub the night he died.
Bill is distraught and in trying to get his daughter off the hook of a murder charge family secrets are revealed that will change the Guth family's lives forever.
