City of Dreadful Night by Peter Guttridge
Be prepared for a long night. Guttridge combines period mystery, police procedure and noir in a fascinating tale whose only blemish is that you'll have to wait for the next in the series in its resolution - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Reviews First gripping mystery in the Brighton Trilogy July 1934. A woman';s torso is found in a trunk at Brighton railway station's left luggage office. Her identity is never established, her killer never caught. But someone is keeping a diary . . . July 2009. Ambitious radio journalist Kate Simpson hopes to solve the notorious Brighton Trunk Murder, and she enlists the help of ex-Chief Constable Robert Watts, whose role in the recent botched armed-police operation in Milldean, Brighton's notorious no-go area, cost him his job. But it's only a matter of time before past and present collide . . .
Guttridge, Peter: - Award-winning comic crime author Peter Guttridge turned from the Daft Side to the Dark Side for his Brighton mystery series, which started with the City of Dreadful Night and with the last in the series being 2014's Those Who Feel Nothing. He was also the Observer's crime fiction critic for twelve years, meaning he's read far more crime fiction than is good for him.
