On a deserted road, late at night, Scotland Yard's Ian Rutledge
encounters a frightened woman standing over a body, launching an
inquiry that leads him into the lair of a stealthy killer and the
dangerous recesses of his own memories in this twentieth
installment of the acclaimed New York Times bestselling series.
Hours after his sister's wedding, a restless Ian Rutledge drives
aimlessly, haunted by the past, and narrowly misses a motorcar
stopped in the middle of a desolate road. Standing beside the
vehicle is a woman with blood on her hands and a dead man at her
feet. She swears she didn't kill Stephen Wentworth. A stranger
stepped out in front of their motorcar, and without warning, fired
a single shot before vanishing into the night. But there is no
trace of him. And the shaken woman insists it all happened so
quickly, she never saw the man's face. Although he is a witness
after the fact, Rutledge persuades the Yard to give him the
inquiry, since he's on the scene. But is he seeking justice--or
fleeing painful memories in London? Wentworth was well-liked, yet
his bitter family paint a malevolent portrait, calling him a
murderer. But who did Wentworth kill? Is his death retribution? Or
has his companion lied? Wolf Pit, his village, has a notorious
history: in Medieval times, the last wolf in England was killed
there. When a second suspicious death occurs, the evidence suggests
that a dangerous predator is on the loose, and that death is closer
than Rutledge knows.
