DI Herbert Reardon investigates the curious case of a man seemingly
returned from the dead, in the latest 1930s-set historical mystery
from Marjorie Eccles. February, 1933. When their eldest brother
Paul walks into their hallway, fourteen years after he was presumed
dead, successful property developers Thea and Teddy Millar are
beset with questions. Where has he been? Why has he never written
to let them know he was alive? And most of important of all: what
happened to Paul, after the end of the Great War, to make him
abandon everything and everyone he ever knew? When Paul's body is
found floating in the canal two weeks later, Detective Inspector
Herbert Reardon feels sure the murder is connected to his new life
in London. For who would want to kill a man who's been thought dead
for over a decade? But Reardon knows the past can cast long
shadows, and as he investigates, he finds a knot of dark secrets
and old grudges that someone is determined he'll never untangle . .
. This atmospheric historical mystery brings the interwar period of
the 1930s to vivid, compelling life, and is a great choice for fans
of traditional mysteries with characters who feel real and
sympathetic.
