The Reckoning: A John Madden Mystery

The Reckoning: A John Madden Mystery

Inspector John Maddenâ€”who debuted in the acclaimedÂ River of Darknessâ€”returns in a gripping postâ€“World War II murder mystery.Â Rennie Airth'sÂ The Death of KingsÂ is now available from Viking.

On a quiet afternoon in 1947, retired bank manager Oswald Gibson is shot in the head while fishing. In Scotland, a respectable family doctor is killed in the sameÂ mannerâ€”and with the same gun. What is the connection? Scotland Yardâ€™s Detective Inspector Billy Styles and local detective Vic Chivers are baffled until a letter fromÂ Gibson is discovered that might shed some light on the caseâ€”a letter concerning former Scotland Yard detective John Madden. Despite Maddenâ€™s legendary memory, he has no recollection of meeting Gibson or any idea of what their relationship might have been. Madden is happily retired from police work, but agrees to help his former protÃ©gÃ© Styles and the clues they uncover only deepen the mystery. When a third man is killed in a similar fashion, Madden and Styles find themselves in a race against time to find the killer before another man ends up dead.
