Suspense Monday, let's go back in time today
A dangerous case with ties leading back to the battlefields
of World War I dredges up dark memories for Scotland Yard
Inspector Ian Rutledge in Hunting Shadows, a gripping and
atmospheric historical mystery set in 1920s England, from
acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd.
A society wedding at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire becomes
a crime scene when a man is murdered. After another body is
found, the baffled local constabulary turns to Scotland
Yard. Though the second crime had a witness, her description
of the killer is so strange its unbelievable.
Despite his experience, Inspector Ian Rutledge has few
answers of his own. The victims are so different that there
is no rhyme or reason to their deaths. Nothing logically
seems to connect them-except the killer. As the
investigation widens, a clear suspect emerges. But for
Rutledge, the facts still don't add up, leaving him to
question his own judgment.
In going over the details of the case, Rutledge is reminded
of a dark episode he witnessed in the war. While the memory
could lead him to the truth, it also raises a prickly
dilemma. To stop a murderer, will the ethical detective
choose to follow the letter-or the spirit-of the law?
