Author: Robin Adair Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 320 One of the convict colony's soldiers had been murdered and Governor Ralph Darling is not pleased. Reluctantly, he turns to Nicodemus Dunne for help. Dunne, a fallen Bow Street Runner now transported to Australia, makes his living as a running patterer, hawking news on the dusty streets. Only he has the detective skills required to chase down the ritual killer and stop the ever-bewildering series of gruesome murders that follow the first. As he searches, Dunne joins forces with the entrancing seamstress Rachel Dormin and soon discovers that too many people, from the Governor down, have secrets worth killing for. When he gets too close to unveiling the murderer and to the secrets buried in his own past, even his life hangs in the balance. Suspenseful, original and intriguing, Death and the Running Patterer will grip you from start to starling conclusion. Secondhand, Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781921518256-SECONDHAND

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Victoria: Penguin Group Australia, 2009. Used. Death and the Running Patterer is a murder mystery with a difference. ?? Set in the convict town of Sydney in 1828, the novel gives us a compelling picture of a roistering town, where anything can be bought for a guinea and the redcoats struggle to keep control. ?? In the midst of all this, someone is committing a series of gruesome and often horribly inventive murders, and Governor Darling turns to Nicodemus Dunne for help. Dunne is a 'running patterer' -- someone who spreads the news of the day by mouth and by fleet of foot. In London, before his deportation, Dunne was a Bow Street Runner, and his police knowledge, combined with his ability to get into all parts of the rapidly growing colony, make him an ideal choice to go underground in search of the murderer. ?? Death and the Running Patterer is carefully researched, cleverly constructed and great fun to read. It will appeal to those who enjoy a good crime mystery, and also to anyone who enjoys an entertaining romp through our colonial history. N° de réf. du vendeur Product_1137
