A Song for the Brokenhearted
Autor William Shawen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 ian 2016
The
earthshaking
decade
of
the
1960s
comes
to
a
sweeping
and
dangerous
close,
as
William
Shaw's
detective
duo
battle
the
most
powerful
members
of
London
society.
After
being
wounded
in
the
line
of
duty,
Detective
Sergeant
Breen
recuperates
on
the
family
farm
of
his
former
partner,
Helen
Tozer.
To
fill
the
long
and
empty
hours,
he
reviews
the
open
case
file
for
a
murder
that
has
haunted
Helen
for
years:
that
of
her
younger
sister.
Breen
discovers
that
the
teenage
victim
had
been
having
a
secret
affair
with
James
Fletchet,
the
son
of
an
affluent
local
landowner,
celebrated
for
his
service
in
Kenya
during
the
Mau
Mau
Uprising.
Breen
and
Tozer
return
to
London's
Criminal
Investigation
Division,
where
their
questions
about
Fletchet's
past
are
met
with
resistance
and
suspicion.
The
deeper
they
probe,
the
more
people
they
implicate
in
their
investigation.
New
Scotland
Yard
doesn't
look
kindly
upon
breaking
rank,
and
it's
only
a
matter
of
time
before
Breen
and
Tozer
make
themselves
a
target.
Shaw's
stirring,
heartfelt
and
diabolically
plotted
mystery
series
is
everything
a
reader
looks
for:
enveloping,
invigorating,
and
wonderfully
entertaining.
