Caron Allan: Night and Day, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What could be more sinister than a deserted street late at night? Add a young woman, alone, coming back from the theatre, rain, and streetlamps that fail to light the shadows... November 1933. Dottie Manderson, a young socialite from a wealthy family has been out for the evening with a friend and is on her way to her married sister's house in the middle of London.

Preoccupied, Dottie gives the cabbie the wrong house number and has to walk the remaining distance to her sister's home. She stumbles upon the body of a man lying on the ground. She thinks he is drunk, but then sees the blood pouring from him onto the paving stones and into the gutter. As she waits for help to arrive, she holds the man's hand and tries to get him to tell her what happened. Nothing can be done for the poor fellow, and Dottie is left shocked by the violence of the attack, especially when she realises she knows the man's widow.

Dottie needs to know who could do such a terrible thing. Even though a particular, very annoying, but admittedly good-looking young policeman is looking into the case officially, she feels compelled to carry out her own amateur investigation into this tragic and mysterious death. Who would want to kill a man in such a way? Could there be a clue in the words of the song he sang just before he died? And why is everyone so upset about her new cape?

Packed full of twists, a couple of unexpected upturns, Night and Day is a page-turner of a whodunit! Readers just love Dottie Manderson!
