It is 1932 and John Madden, former Scotland Yard Inspector, is now a farmer in the peaceful Surrey countryside. Peaceful, that is, until he discovers the mutilated body of a small girl, Alice Bridger, hidden in a wood. Uneasy at the direction of police enquiries and convinced the killer has struck before, he quietly begins his own investigation. When a second body is found Madden's instinct is proved right - there is a multiple killer at large, and he has been covering his tracks for a number of years. The investigation leads Madden to Germany in the autumn of 1932. To a country where the Nazis are on the brink of power . . . Praise for River of Darkness: 'If only every golden age crime novel could be as good as this' Independent on Sunday 'A talent that promises great things for the future' Val McDermid 'I doubt that there will be a better crime thriller this year or next' The Oldie 'An outstanding book' Scotsman 'A superior novel of psychological tension that rises well above its formula.' The Times 'One of the most gripping thrillers I have ever read.' Country Life
