Про цю електронну книгу
Two separate murders put CI Littlejohn on a devious killer’s twisting path in this long-running British mystery series.
Finlo Crennell, the former harbourmaster of Castletown, was reported missing one week ago. Now he’s turned up in London, wandering the streets and suffering from amnesia. He has no recollection of where he’s been or how he got here from the Isle of Man. When Chief Inspector Littlejohn is asked to escort the man home, he assumes the job will be quick and painless. But less than twenty-four hours later, Crennell is found brutally murdered.
Littlejohn assumes the case and soon has a second murder to investigate. A bankrupt farmer, Charlie Cribbin, was killed in the same manner as Crennell. Could the two men be connected? And what happened to Crennell during the week he was missing? Littlejohn must connect the dots if he has any hope of tracking down the killer before he strikes again.

Про автора
George Bellairs is the pseudonym under which Harold Blundell (1902–1982) wrote police procedural thrillers in rural British settings. He was born in Lancashire, England, and worked as a bank manager in Manchester. After retiring, Bellairs moved to the Isle of Man, where several of his novels are set, to be with friends and family.
In 1941 Bellairs wrote his first mystery, Littlejohn on Leave, during spare moments at his air raid warden’s post. The title introduced Thomas Littlejohn, the detective who appears in fifty-seven of his novels. Bellairs was also a regular contributor to the Manchester Guardian and worked as a freelance writer for newspapers both local and national.
