River Of Darkness - Poche

'I doubt that there will be a better crime thriller this year or next' Oldie 'An outstanding book' Scotsman It is 1921 and a terrible discovery has been made at a manor house in Surrey - the bloodied bodies of Colonel Fletcher, his wife and two of their staff. The victims have all been stabbed - and the lack of disturbance in the house suggest the attack was one of terrifying speed. The Surrey police force seem ready to put the murders down to robbery with violence, but Detective Inspector Madden, from Scotland Yard, sees things slightly differently. For he has experienced the horrors of World War I and has seen madness at first hand. And this crime, he is sure, has been perpetrated by a psychopath who will strike again ... and soon. 'An edge-of-the-seat thriller - compelling stuff' Robert Goddard 'One of the most gripping thrillers I have ever read. The tension never lets up (I really did stay up half the night) and it never lets go' Country Life 'A superior novel of psychological tension that rises well above its formula' The Times
