A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Bestselling author Charles Todd brings back Scotland Yard's best detective, Ian Rutledge, to solve a dangerous case that reaches far into the past.

A man confesses to a crime he didn't commit. And the name he gives to Scotland Yard is not his own, it's another man's. When he is found floating in the Thames, a murder victim himself, and is finally identified, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge must rethink all that he believed he knew about the case, and suddenly finds three murders on his hands. There is no apparent motives for any of them, only a very tenuous connection with a village that will do anything to protect itself from notoriety. For notoriety brings the curious, and with the curious comes change and an unwelcome spotlight on one act of evil that even two centuries later will damn them all.

Quatrième de couverture :

Declaring he needs to clear his conscience, a dying man walks into Scotland Yard and confesses that he killed his cousin five years ago during the Great War. When Inspector Ian Rutledge presses for details, the man evades his questions, revealing only that he hails from a village east of London. With little information and no body to open an official inquiry, Rutledge begins to look into the case on his own.

Fewer than two weeks later, the alleged killer’s body is found floating in the Thames, a bullet in the back of his head. Searching for answers, Rutledge discovers that the dead man was not who he claimed to be. What was his real name—and who put a bullet in his head? Were the “confession” and his own death related? Or was there something else in the victim’s past that led to his murder?
