{"product_id":"gallows-court-book-martin-edwards-9781788546102","title":"Gallows Court","description":"A superb Golden Age mystery packed with twists, from the winner of the Diamond Dagger 2020 LONDON, 1930   The night is sooty, sulphurous, and malign. A spate of violent deaths has horrified the capital and the smog-bound streets are deserted. No woman should be out on a night like this. But Rachel Savernake is no ordinary woman.  To Scotland Yard's embarrassment, she solved the Chorus Girl Murder, and now – along with journalist Jacob Flint – she's on the trail of another killer.  Savernake and Flint's pursuit of the truth will mire them ever-deeper into a labyrinth of deception and corruption. Murder-by-murder, they will be swept ever-closer to that ancient place of execution, where it all began and where it will finally end: Gallows Court.    Reviews for Gallows Court: 'Superb – a pitch-perfect blend of Golden Age charm and sinister modern suspense, with a main character to die for. This is the book Edwards was born to write' Lee Child  'Packed with evocative period detail, twists and turns and a fascinatingly enigmatic anti-heroine' Financial Times  'Edwards has managed, brilliantly, to combine a Golden Age setting with a pace that is bang up-to-date. A great sense of the era observed through a cut-throat-sharp eye, every page dripping with brilliant period authenticity' Peter James  'A ripping tale of retribution and rough justice, set against a finely realised 1930s London. It reads as if Ruth Rendell were channelling Edgar Wallace' Mick Herron  'Liberally spiced with mystery, suspense and action ... A thoroughly gripping read' Peter Robinson","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529581469969,"sku":"GOR009784686","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50632442708241,"sku":"GOR009953236","price":3.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1788546105.jpg?v=1750898320","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/gallows-court-book-martin-edwards-9781788546102","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
