A
Matter of Justice
Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery, No. 11
by Charles Todd
Shortly after financial advisor
Harold Quarles ends his business partnership in London, he is found
savagely murdered on his country estate. When Scotland Yard Inspector
Ian Rutledge arrives to start his investigation of the crime, he
quickly realizes the victim is thoroughly despised by nearly everyone
in the small village of Cambury.
The long list of suspects ranges from the dead man's wife to the local police inspector. The only thing that
seems to unite the suspects is the wall of silence they construct, which means Rutledge will need every ounce of
his skill plus a little luck to breach the barricade. In fact, in this case it might be better for all concerned,
including the inspector, if no one comes forth to share what he knows!
The Rutledge series has garnered Todd nominations for such prestigious
accolades as the Edgar and Anthony awards. If you haven't met the
Inspector Ian Rutledge, isn't it about time you did?
