Description
In the stillness of the night the tree branches were full of noise from birds, squirrels and insects. Then all went silent. A slight jerk of Lee's head angled off to one side, signaled that he should leave. His nose still stung from the thick gun smoke hanging in the air. When Bert Grayson is murdered, it sets off a chain of events to apprehend a relentless killer who would not be stopped.
Don't trust anyone, Lee and Miranda were warned! But, they risked their own lives in this heart stopping race against time. Lillian Grace, a woman with her own secrets, had loved Bert. Her rambling letters, written after his murder, are the only link 50 years later to what really happened in that alley the night Bert was found with his throat slit.

Advance Praise
An intricate and captivating read throughout. Russell instinctively understands the devices of suspense and tension and uses them to maximum effect. Not by stringing a series of contrived events one after another in a tedious stream of clichés, but by creating a pervasive atmosphere of intrigue and peril which genuinely immerses the reader in the culminating mystery. Written with an acerbic pen Russell moves confidently between time frames with rich thematic undertones that bring each era to life. There is enough here to sate the most demanding of armchair sleuths. "Book Viral"
