Sparrows with Vertigo

Autor Jim Pinnock
en Limba Engleză Paperback
It is the spring of 1915 and Britain is at war with Germany. Suddenly the full horror of the War is brought to the small market town of Tadbury in Oxfordshire. Detective Inspector Vic Collins, a resourceful policeman, who has served with valour in the Boer war, is called to investigate a disturbance at Stokehanger Hall. The Hall has recently been taken over by the army and converted into a Sanatorium for wounded soldiers. Vic's routine enquiry soon uncovers evil offences against his fellow countrymen that both anger and sicken him. He is determined to stop the criminal process and bring the perpetrators to book. His enquiries develop into a complex investigation which reveals a trail of guilt that goes to the very top of the British government. Vic receives little support from his superiors in the police force and so he decides that unconventional methods will be needed to stop the criminal activity and rescue the victims. Is he prepared to step outside the law that he has always respected in order to overcome the political intrigues? Will his experience of fighting in the Boer war be enough to help him defeat the forces that outnumber him? Can he take on this perilous mission against the establishment and bring the criminals to justice? Will the woman that he loves distract him from his vital purpose? Will he be able to justify to his father's memory, his ruthless and violent strategy for dealing with his evil opponents? This is a dynamic and compelling story of one man's battle against the abuse of power. Packed with adventure and intrigue."
