One of our favorite mystery series nominated for RT award
Scotland Yard detective Ian Rutledge returns to solve his
most exciting and shocking case yet in this latest entry
in the bestselling series hailed as "outstanding" by the
New York Times Book Review. A breathtaking blend of psychological complexity, haunting
atmosphere, compelling twists, and impressive detail, the
novels in the Ian Rutledge mystery series have garnered
their author widespread acclaim and numerous honors and
awards. At the heart of the series is the compelling
Scotland Yard detective inspector Ian Rutledge, a veteran
of the Great War who understands all too well the darkness
that lies within men's souls. Now three men have been murdered in a Sussex village, and
Scotland Yard has been called in. It's a baffling case.
The victims are soldiers who survived the horrors of World
War I only to meet a ghastly end in the quiet English
countryside two years later. Each had been garroted, with
small ID discs left in their mouths. But even Scotland Yard's presence doesn't deter this
vicious and clever killer. Shortly after Inspector Ian
Rutledge arrives, a fourth soldier is found dead. With few
clues to go on and the pressure building, Rutledge must
gamble everything - his job, his reputation, and even his
life - to find answers.
