The Torn Curtain

Inspector Vignoles Mysteries #3

by Stephen Done

It's 1948. Two British soldiers working on the railways in Trieste, Italy, are murdered for no obvious reason - and Allied intelligence is baffled.

Back in England, Detective Inspector Vignoles discovers his office at Leicester Central has been searched, whilst the suave - but decidedly suspicious - Captain Henderson is asking odd questions that stir up long-repressed memories…

Soon Vignoles is leading the murder investigation, only to discover that he is dealing with something far stranger than he could had imagined. A long-lost secret is about to be revealed, and it could rip apart the Iron Curtain to pitch the West into deadly conflict with the East…

A thrilling Cold War adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat as Vignoles's train hurtles towards a beautiful bridge spanning a deep ravine in Jugoslavia - and almost certain death!
