Summary

World War Two has ended, but the peace is threatened when a shocking murder takes place in the Sussex countryside. Before long, police discover a link to another killing hundreds of miles away....

Scotland Yard detective Billy Styles is on the case, but a strange twist of fate brings former DI John Madden into the investigations. As the victim count rises, it becomes clear that to catch this serial killer they must act quickly. But Madden remains haunted by the mysteries at the heart of the case. Why was his name in a letter the second target had been penning just before he died? Could the real clue to these perplexing murders lie within the victims' pasts? And within his own?

Superb

Rennie Airth is an author for whom I hold great admiration. He writes with an immense sympathy for his characters, both heroes and villains and has the talent to fool the reader with twists that are difficult to predict.
Roll on the next book!
