SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER AWARD 2016
'Undoubtedly the most powerful work of crime fiction I have read
this year' Independent 'Vivid and harrowing' Sunday Times 'Police
procedural, romance, thriller The Murderer in Ruins has a bit of
everything and it's one hell of a read.' Bucher Hamburg, 1947 A
ruined city occupied by the British, who bombed it, experiencing
the coldest winter in living memory. Food and supplies are
rationed; refugees and the homeless are crammed into concrete
bunkers and ramshackle huts; trade on the black market is rife. A
killer is on the loose, and all attempts to find him or her have
failed. Plagued with worry about his missing son, Frank Stave is a
career policeman with a tragedy in his past that is driving his
determination to find the killer. With frustration and anger
mounting in an already tense city, Stave is under increasing
pressure to find out why - in the wake of a wave of atrocity, the
grim Nazi past and the bleak attempts by his German countrymen to
recreate a country from the apocalypse - someone still has the
stomach for murder. The first of a trilogy, The Murderer in Ruins
vividly describes a poignant moment in British-German history, with
a riveting plot that culminates in a shocking denouement.
