River of Darkness (Inspector Madden Series)
River of Darkness - Inspector Madden Series Author:Rennie Airth 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 suggests that the attack was one of terrifying speed. The Surrey police force seems ready to put the murders down to "... more »robbery with violence," but Detective Inspector Madden of Scotland Yard sees things slightly differently. Having experienced the horrors of World War I, Madden has seen madness first-hand, and he is certain this crime has been perpetrated by a psychopath who will strike again. This is the first book in the series by South African expatriate Rennie Airth, notable both for his superb characterizations and his telling details of everyday life.« less
