Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. The many admirers of Airth's impressive debut, River of Darkness (1999), which was an Edgar finalist, will relish his gripping second police procedural, set in 1932. The brilliant Scotland Yard inspector John Madden has retired to the countryside and built himself a new life and a new family, but his tranquil, pedestrian existence is shattered when he stumbles on the battered corpse of a young girl. Despite himself and the importunings of his wife, Helen, Madden is drawn into the police inquiry and quickly challenges the official theory that a passing vagrant is responsible. Evidence soon surfaces that the killing is one of a series that spans several countries, and the trail gets murkier when a major suspect proves to be linked to international espionage. The political ramifications of the murders, which may complicate British-German relations on the eve of the Nazis' rise to power, only add to the challenges the police face in preventing another death. While the plot structure may be a little too similar to its predecessor for some, Airth's full-blooded characters and convincing evocation of rural 1930s England will have most eager for a shorter wait for his next book.

From Booklist

Airth introduced John Madden, the troubled Scotland Yard inspector, in 1999's River of Darkness. A World War I veteran, he was so psychologically scarred by his battlefield experiences that he could barely function as a police detective. Now it's 1932, and Madden is retired from the yard, living as a farmer in rural England with his wife, Dr. Helen Blackwell, and their children. In mystery fiction, however, retirement is rarely peaceful. When Madden becomes involved in the investigation into a young girl's murder, he soon suspects that it was only one of many murders committed by the same man--a serial killer, although that term won't be coined for more than four decades. Like its predecessor, this elegantly written novel explores the early development of criminal psychology. Making excellent use of dramatic irony, Airth builds tension by playing on the reader's knowledge of matters--serial killers and their pathologies--about which Madden and his colleagues are unaware. Fans of contemporary thrillers about the psychology of the serial killer (e.g., Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter novels) will thoroughly enjoy the historical perspective provided here. David Pitt
