A school reunion on Holy Island that takes a deadly twist against the backdrop of a rising tide will see Northumberland's best known detective tasked with one of her biggest cases yet.
Vera creator Ann Cleeves has written the 10th book in the series which inspired the hit ITV drama and fans are being promised a cracker to mark the big anniversary. The new novel, The Rising Tide, is described as one of the award-winning author's "most gripping and explosive stories to date".
In it Vera travels to Holy Island to investigate a murder among a group of lifelong friends who return there for a reunion every five years to both celebrate their friendship and remember a pal they lost during their first visit as teenagers 50 years earlier, when the tide came in on the causeway.
