A historic crime. A post-war gangland assassination. Can DC Ruth Hunter find the killer before the deadly feud spills over into the present?

When the remains of a missing teenager are uncovered, DC Ruth Hunter presumes the forty-year-old murder is linked to a knife fight between South London gangs in the 1950s. However, as the investigation widens, Ruth, and her impetuous partner DC Lucy Henry, discover a disturbing connection to the dark criminal past of a prominent knight of the realm.
Narrowing down their investigation to an infamous South London club, Ruth begins to uncover a complex web of historic police corruption, brutal protection rackets and celebrity gangsters.

A skeleton found in a wood yard throws up all sorts of mystery and confusion for Ruth and Lucy as the skeleton is not who it seems to be. Another great book by Simon McLeave. The narration is very good , with accents spot on. Lucy is my favourite character, her accent, her attitude and her personality come over so well. I shall be looking out for more performances by Rachel Atkins she makes the book come alive.
