Embers of the Dead Summary

Embers of the Dead by Roy Lewis

Solicitor Eric Ward maintains a small criminal practice on Newcastle's Quayside. This simple life, however, is soon to change. Eric's reluctant attendance at an annual dinner leads him to meet Ben Shaw, a merchant banker who seems to know an awful lot about him. What Shaw tells Eric leads to the uncomfortable dredging up of his past. It seems Jason Sullivan QC- the reason behind Eric's marriage break up- is involved in something big and it is up to Eric to find out what. Meanwhile, DCI Charlie Spate's investigation into illegal immigration has revealed a new level of organization. Prostitution. Drugs. It's big business. However, Spate is strangely pulled off the case in favor of re-opening a cold case: the killing of Michael Podro, an old man whose murder bore a striking resemblance to Nazi death camp killings. A strange, undetermined tattoo on his shoulder may be the only clue to the truth behind his murder. As past and present collide, Roy Lewis takes us on a gripping and suspense-ridden trip that keeps the pages turning until at last the two seemingly unrelated stories explode into one.

Embers of the Dead Reviews

'Reminiscent of Graham Greene, Ward's Newcastle is real, unromantic' -- Financial Times 'Lewis smartly moves his hero in and out of his bind while making his devotion to a shady waterfront clientele entirely understandable.' -- New York Times
