DI Peter Shaw and DS George Valentine are an odd couple of Norfolk detectives. Shaw is younger, university-educated, and interested in forensic science. Valentine is older, bitter about a career setback, and relies on instinct. Their partnership drives eight novels set along the Norfolk coast and its hinterland.

Jim Kelly uses the partnership to explore different policing styles while keeping the focus on carefully plotted mysteries. The coastal Norfolk setting gives the books a distinctive feel, with marshes, beaches, and small towns replacing the urban settings of most British crime fiction.
