Mystery Historical
Inspector John Madden—who debuted in River of
Darkness—returns in a gripping post–World War II murder
mystery On a quiet afternoon in 1947, retired bank manager Oswald
Gibson is shot in the head while fishing. In Scotland, a
respectable family doctor is killed in the same manner—and
with the same gun. What is the connection? Scotland Yard’s
Detective Inspector Billy Styles and local detective Vic
Chivers are baffled until a letter from Gibson is discovered
that might shed some light on the case—a letter concerning
former Scotland Yard detective John Madden. Despite Madden’s
legendary memory, he has no recollection of meeting Gibson
or any idea of what their relationship might have been.
Madden is happily retired from police work, but agrees to
help his former protégé Styles and the clues they uncover
only deepen the mystery. When a third man is killed in a
similar fashion, Madden and Styles find themselves in a race
against time to find the killer before another man ends up dead. A smart, intricately plotted mystery, this is the fourth
title in the critically acclaimed and much loved John Madden
series.
