A Lonely Death

Brief Description: It's 1920. Three men are dead, all garroted, all war veterans. When a piece of evidence, kept from the public, suggests a much stronger link between the victims and the unknown, it's up to World War I battered survivor Scotland Yard Detective Ian Rutledge to find the killer. Biographical Note: "New York Times" bestselling author Charles Todd is the author of twelve Ian Rutledge mysteries, two Bess Crawford mysteries, and one stand-alone novel. A mother and son writing team, they live in Delaware and North Carolina. Publisher Marketing: Three men have been murdered in a Sussex village, and Scotland Yard has been called in. It s a baffling case. The victims are soldiers who survived the horrors of the Great War only to meet a ghastly end in the quiet English countryside two years later. Each had been garroted, with small ID disks left in their mouths. But even Scotland Yard s presence doesn t deter this vicious and clever killer. Shortly after Inspector Ian Rutledge arrives, a fourth soldier is found dead. With few clues to go on and the pressure building, Rutledge must gamble everything to find answers his job, his reputation, and even his life." Review Citations:
