Tom Calder is an ex-surfer who, for the last couple of years, has earned a crust as a private detective. It's not as glamorous as it may sound. Basically, he gets to follow guys around and find out if they're cheating on their wife, and vice versa. And when he's not doing that, he's checking that insurance claims are legit, and not some schmuck trying to pull a fast one. Leaping into the ocean and dragging people screaming to the shoreline is not his normal day to day business. And neither is investigating the murder of a teenage girl whose parents run a successful charity. Chances were, this wasn't going to be an average week.
