England 1950, a country still struggling to come to terms with peace in the grip of austerity and rationing.
When the body of a man wearing a pinstriped suit is found in a secluded bay on
Portland Island, Dorset Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga is sent to
investigate.
'A great read and one I recommend to any crime fans.' BH Living Magazine
"Ryga studied the face of the dead man with interest. Death no
longer had the power to shock him. He’d seen too much of it. That didn’t
mean he didn’t feel sorrow, pity, anger or despair, or sometimes all
four emotions and in such a swift succession that they became one. This
time he felt none of these, only professional curiosity.”
When the body of a man dressed in a pinstriped suit is discovered
by war photographer, Eva Paisley, in a secluded bay on Portland Island,
Dorset, Inspector Alun Ryga of Scotland Yard is sent to investigate.
Recently promoted, the thoughtful, observant Ryga, is on his first solo
investigation outside of London, and is keen to prove his worth.
Ignoring the warnings of the local police inspector, and the Dorset
Chief Constable, that his trust in Eva Paisley is misjudged, Ryga
quickly realises that her observations could provide the breakthrough he
needs in a complex murder investigation and the answer to the haunting
circumstances that have sent the man in the pinstriped suit to his
death.
