The Black Ascot
Trade paperback advanced readers copy in good condition. Some wear to cover. Fine reading copy. Inspector Ian Rutledge series #21.
“He won’t tell me very much about his war. None of us do. It isn’t something we share, you see. What we’ve seen, what we’ve done ought to stay in France. But it didn’t, it came home in our memories. They aren’t memories we want you to know. You are the world we fought for. Safe and sane and not ugly. Better to keep it that way.”
Scotland Yard’s Ian Rutledge seeks a cunning killer who has eluded Scotland Yard for ten years. A chance meeting with a released convict gives Rutledge a clue to the whereabouts of Alan Barrington, an escaped murderer who has been missing since the Black Ascot. Ten years ago, in 1910, on the way home from that year’s Ascot, a fiery crash took the life of Blanche Fletcher-Munro and crippled her husband. Alan Barrington was suspected of tampering with the car. But Barrington escaped and has not been seen since. Has Barrington finally turned up?
