Description
A dangerous American is in town, but is he really responsible for a deadly crime spree in Leeds?
Leeds, June 1913. Deputy Chief Constable Tom Harper is a busy man. He's overseeing a national suffragist pilgrimage due in Leeds that his wife Annabelle intends to join, and his daughter Mary has exciting plans of her own. Then a letter arrives from police in New York: Davey Mullen, an American gangster born in Leeds, is on his way back to the city, fleeing a bloody gang war.
Despite Tom’s best efforts to keep an eye on him, Davey’s arrival triggers a series of chilling events in the city. Is he responsible for the sudden surge in crime, violence and murder on Leeds’s streets? Facing a mounting workload, Tom must hunt down a cold-blooded killer while also confronting danger and tragedy close to home.

Tom Harper is faced with a surge in violent crime in Leeds. The return to the city of a hardened criminal seems to be the cause, but is it really? Meanwhile, closer to home, his wife is keen to support the Suffrage Movement.
Chris Nickson writes wonderful books about Leeds and in this series it is the time just before the First World War. Atmospheric and showing a great understanding of a neglected city, Nickson's books are satisfying and this is no exception
