A Summer Shadow: A British Detective Murder Mystery
Not yet published
Expected 6 May 26This summer, as the city of York swelters in a heatwave, it appears revenge is still a dish best served cold…
Chief Inspector Shadow’s relaxing afternoon watching a game of cricket is interrupted when a body is discovered in the scorer’s hut. The victim is a retired clerk, who lived a quiet life. Initially the brutal murder appears random, but a search of the victim’s house reveals more questions than answers. When a skeleton with a crushed skull is discovered hidden in an abandoned building associated with the victim, Shadow speculates there could be a connection. If so, someone wanted to settle a score.
John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who shuns company but is a keen observer of all he meets. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. He prefers to work alone but is assisted by the eager Sergeant Jimmy Chang.
Now the two men must delve into the past and discover if this latest murder victim is as innocent as they first appear.
