A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'He could feel it in the blackness, a difference in atmosphere, a sense of evil, of things hidden.'Amy Snowden, in middle age, has long since settled into a lonely life in the Yorkshire town of Gunnarshaw, until - to her neighbours' surprise - she suddenly marries a much younger man. Months later, Amy is found dead - apparently by her own hand - and her husband, Wright, has disappeared.Sergeant Caleb Cluff - silent, watchful, a man at home in the bleak moorland landscape of Gunnarshaw - must find the truth about the couple's unlikely marriage, and solve the riddle of Amy's death.This novel, originally published in 1960, is the first in the series of Sergeant Cluff detective stories that were televised in the 1960s but have long been neglected. This new edition is published in the centenary year of the author's birth.

Revue de presse :

This classic crime novel thrusts an old favourite back into the limelight. This is the first book in the series, and the perfect opportunity to rediscover Sergeant Cluff, a man of few words, as he investigates the peculiar circumstances surrounding the death of Amy Snowden. --People's Friend

Passes the test of time with top marks. --Daily Mail

There are many shocking revelations, and a good deal of tense and exciting action, but this is not a whodunnit. Rather it is a psychological thriller of a most convincing and absorbing kind. --Shiny New Books
