Death of a Nobody (Lambert and Hook British Crime Mysteries Book 8)
By J. M. Gregson
DISCOVER A PAGE-TURNING MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE IDYLLIC COTSWOLD HILLS.
Superintendent John Lambert is enjoying a fine spring evening alone on the golf course – until he spots a man calling to him from the nearby shelter.
It’s a rendezvous the pair have used before. Secrecy is important to them both, but to informant Charlie Pegg, it’s the difference between life and death.
A few days later, at half past nine, Lambert receives a call: Pegg has intel on notorious gangster Jim Berridge. But by midnight, the informant’s body is bleeding into a gutter.
Lambert knows it was a professional job, by men operating in the big leagues. These men feel safe even when the police are watching. They’re confident nobody has the evidence to lock them up. But the night he was murdered, Pegg obviously did.
If Lambert and Hook can decipher his breadcrumb trail, they’ll have the criminal for life.
This gripping police procedural is perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, Joy Ellis, M.C. Beaton, or Faith Martin.
