The Gravesend Murder

Summary

The past proves deadly when a witness to a case gone cold is murdered—a chilling message meant to silence those involved . . .

Summoned to Gravesend, Scotland Yard Inspector Henry Field is shocked to discover the body of a man he interviewed only days earlier. The brutal timing suggests his inquiries into the cold case that has haunted him for well over a year struck a nerve. But with more questions than clues, the investigation threatens to once again grind to a halt.

Widow Amelia Greystone's quiet life is upended by murder for a third time, this one striking dangerously close to home. A mysterious clue hidden in her late husband's desk compels her to investigate—a decision that forces her to confront the possibility that she didn't know her husband at all, and their life together was a lie.

As Amelia and Henry's paths intertwine, a second body is found, dragging them deep into the shadows of London's underworld. There, the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, and the answers they seek may cost more than they're prepared to lose.

Dark secrets, surprising twists, and a relentless killer collide in this gripping historical mystery.
