Shortlisted for the CWA Ellis Peters Historical Dagger Award, retired Inspector John Madden returns in Rennie Airth's The Dead of Winter.During a blackout on the streets of London on a freezing evening in late 1944, a young Polish land girl, Rosa Nowak, is suddenly and brutally killed. For the police, their resources already stretched by war regulations and the thriving black market, this is a shocking and seemingly random crime. No one can find any reason why someone would want to murder an innocent refugee.For the former police inspector John Madden, the crime hits close to home. Rosa was working on his farm and he feels personally responsible for not protecting her. His old colleagues Angus Sinclair and Billy Styles are still at the Yard, but struggle to make sense of their few clues.Their only lead points towards war-torn Europe – but as the fighting sweeps across the continent, will they find the killer before he strikes again?Enjoy more of this historical crime series with The Reckoning and The Death of Kings. - Del 2 - Inspector Madden series

Since the piece could not have been stolen by the man who was hanged for Miss Blake's murder, the question arises: who else could have taken it?And why?1949. An unsigned letter arrives on the desk of Chief Inspector Derry of the Canterbury police. Enclosed is a jade pendant, identical to the one that went missing from the body of Portia Blake, an actress murdered a decade previously. The case had been shut quickly at the time – the accused vagrant gave a written confession and was sentenced to the gallows - but in the police's haste to close the inquiry, the necklace was never recovered. Until now.Inspector Madden is asked to investigate the letter's worrying claims by his old friend, and former Chief Inspector, Angus Sinclair, who fears the wrong man may have been hanged on his watch. But with a world war separating Madden from the murder, the truth will not come easy . . . - Del 5 - Inspector Madden series

Det är sommaren 1921. John Madden vid Scotland Yard tillkallas av polisen i Guildford för att utreda de brutala morden på överste Fletcher och hans familj i Surrey. Den enda som överlevt är femåriga Sophy, men hon är så chockad att hon inte kan frågas ut och tas om hand av familjens läkare, Helen Blackwell. Lokalpolisen vill rubricera morden som inbrottsförsök, men Madden – som själv blivit vittne till många vansinnesdåd under kriget – är övertygad om att de begåtts av en psykopatisk krigsveteran som inte tvekar att slå till igen, och det snart.
"Mörkrets flod" har belönats med flera litterära utmärkelser, bland annat det prestigefyllda franska deckarpriset Le Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.

Efter flera år i Scotland Yards tjänst har kriminalkommissarie John Madden dragit sig tillbaka. Tillsammans med hustrun Helen och deras två barn lever han ett stillsamt liv på landet i det fridfulla Surrey. Men minnena från hans svåraste fall sommaren 1921 då en psykopatisk krigsveteran satte skräck i en hel landsända gör sig fortfarande påminda då och då.
När den tolvåriga Alice Bridge försvinner och en omfattande skallgångskedja sätts igång för att hitta henne blir Madden den som bokstavligen snubblar över hennes svårt sargade lik. Och när ytterligare en mördad flicka återfinns kort därefter kan han inte låta bli att delta i jakten på den skyldige. Men det gäller att slå till fort – mördaren kommer inte att vänta länge på sitt nästa offer.
"Blodröd våg" är en tät och välskriven berättelse, fylld av minnesvärda karaktärer, som utspelar sig vid en tidpunkt då mörka krafter börjar sprida sig i Europa. Rennie Airths första bok om kriminalkommissarie John Madden, "Mörkrets flod", belönades med det prestigefyllda franska deckarpriset Le Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.

London, november 1944. En ung flicka hittas brutalt mördad. Den vinterkalla staden är mörklagd på grund av kriget och polisens resurser är begränsade i en stad som tvingats ta emot flyktingar från ett härjat Europa.
Flickan visar sig vara en polsk judinna, Rosa Nowak, som arbetade på den pensionerade kriminalkommissarien John Maddens gård. Tyngd av samvetskval bestämmer han sig för att hjälpa sina gamla kollegor vid Scotland Yard att lösa fallet. Snart visar det sig att mordet har förgreningar både ute i Europa och långt bak i tiden, och Madden inser att mördaren kommer att slå till igen – nu gäller det att stoppa honom i tid!
"Vinterdöd" är den avslutande delen i den kritikerrosade trilogin om kriminalkommissarie John Madden. Det är en tät och suggestiv kriminalroman som utspelar sig under en dramatisk tid i Europas historia. Första boken i serien, "Mörkrets flod", belönades med det prestigefyllda franska deckarpriset Le Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.
