The Dead of Winter – Rennie Airth Free Audiobook

Written by Rennie Airth

It was in River of Darkness, a New York Times Notable Book, nominated
for an Edgar Award, that Rennie Airth first introduced John Madden to
the reading public. Now, in The Dead of Winter, he brings this much
loved detective back for the third time in a murder mystery set in London
in the closing months of World War II. On a freezing night, Rosa Novak,
a young Polish refugee, is brutally murdered during the blackout. The
police are ready to write off the crime as a random act of violence
until Madden, who had been the girl’s employer, intervenes. Feeling
a moral obligation towards the young Jewish woman, whose family have
perished in the Holocaust, he pushes the investigation forward until
he and his old colleagues at Scotland yard stumble on Rosa’s connection
to a murdered Parisian furrier and a stolen cache of diamonds. Meanwhile,
lurking in the shadows, his identity a mystery, a ruthless killer waits
to strike again.
