A bespoke tailor with clients from the very upper circles is found murdered in a brutal manner in a train carriage. No ordinary robbery though his luggage is missing. DS George Cross is on the case with a new assistant which he finds hard to handle, with his former Assistant now promoted over him, overlooking matters.
What follows is a meticulously pulled apart detective story - procedurally detailed, sometimes puzzling to everyone else other than to Cross but bringing to light the murderers involved. A tale of betrayal, espionage, a highly improbable code system and the brilliance of George Cross.
I am sad that this is the last book on my kindle from this author. I was hoarding it and keeping it to enjoy at leisure.
Thank you to Grove Atlantic for sending me this book for an unbiased review, courtesy of Netgalley.
