Flower Power

By F J Shindler

Flower Power is one of a number of stories in the Doctor Goodier and Harry Mysteries compilation.

Christina Hunt's abilities as a professional swimmer were famous locally. Her penchant for early morning trials in seas too rough for most was equally well known. And yet, against all such expertise, her young, athletic body is found washed ashore on her favourite beach.

Tony Albright should have been there with her; he promised he would be. But on that particular day, he became unwell. Is he hiding something? Only Ma Aylesbury knows the truth about Tony.
