Produktbeschreibung
'Airth has written another first-class police procedural' Independent on Sunday It is 1932 and John Madden, former Scotland Yard Inspector, is now a farmer in the peaceful Surrey countryside. However his peace is about to be shattered, for when a young girl goes missing, it is he who discovers her disfigured body hidden in a wood. Disturbed by what he has seen, he is convinced the killer has struck before . . . When a second body is found, Madden's instinct is proved right - there is a serial killer at large. Allying himself with his old colleagues, and against the wishes of his anxious wife, he immerses himself in one more case. But Madden will have to stay one step ahead of a killer who is a master of reinvention, and who has been covering his tracks for many years. And soon significant links are discovered in Germany, where the Nazis are on the brink of power . . . 'Highly enjoyable. Let us hope that John Madden happens upon another corpse before too long' Spectator 'Airth's darkened lanes are less like the pastel colours of cosy crime and more like the mean streets of quite another thriller' Times Literary Supplement The John Madden series [insert thumbnails of River of Darkness, The Dead of Winter, The Reckoning]
