# The Brutal Tide by Kate Rhodes (Paperback)

**THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES #6**  
  
'An absolute master of pace, plotting and character' **ELLY GRIFFITHS**  
  
**REVENGE**  
DI Ben Kitto made many enemies in his time working as an undercover officer for the Met police, none more ruthless and calculating than gang leader Craig Travis.  
  
**IS WORTH**  
Travis has longed to make Kitto pay for his role in getting him convicted - and that day has finally arrived. Now, a dark and twisted killer is heading for the Scilly Isles, one who has waited a long time for revenge.  
  
**WAITING FOR . . .**  
With Kitto busy investigating the discovery of a body on the islands and distracted by the imminent arrival of his first child, his defences are down. He has so much to lose.  
  
**And Travis will stop at nothing to take it all from him.**
