Crime

It is 1932 and John Madden, former Scotland Yard Inspector, is now a farmer in the peaceful Surrey countryside. Peaceful, that is, until he discovers the mutilated body of a small girl, Alice Bridger, hidden in a wood. Uneasy at the direction of police enquiries and convinced the killer has struck before, he quietly begins his own investigation. When a second body is found, Madden's instinct is proved right âÃÂàthere is a multiple killer at large, and he has been covering his tracks for a number of years. The investigation leads Madden to Germany in the autumn of 1932. To a country where the Nazis are on the brink of powerâÃÂæ
