Synopsis: |
'Unerringly sharp and pioneeringly original, it locks the reader in from start to finish' - Andrew Barrow, "Spectator." Winter, 1906. It's Jim Stringer's first day as an official railway detective, but he's not a happy man. As the rain falls incessantly on the city's ancient streets, the local paper carries a story highly unusual by York standards: two brothers have been shot to death. Soon Jim enters the orbit of a dangerous, disturbed villain - and discovers that the two murders are barely the start of his plans...'A cracking good thriller' - "Independent on Sunday." 'Crime narratives dispatched with a Dickensian relish ...Delectable stuff' - "Daily Express." 'Has the charm of Alexander McCall Smith's simple-is-good philosophising and its addictive quality' - "Metro." |
