Synopses & Reviews
The first entry in a series about
a private investigator in post-war London and Berlin
. He's no Philip Marlowe, but what else is a demobbed SOE agent to do now the war is over and the world is struggling back to normality?
1946: The war's over, but there are no medals for Danny McRae. Just amnesia and blackouts; twin handicaps for a private investigator with a filthy rich client on the hook for murder. Danny's blackouts mean that hours, sometimes days, are a complete blank. So when news of a brutal killer stalking London's red light district start to stir grisly memories, Danny is terrified about what he might discover if he delves deeper into his fractured mind. As the two bloody sagas collide and interweave, Danny finds himself running for his life across the bomb-ravaged city. The only escape is through that gap in his memory. Will his past catch up with him before his enemies, and which would be worse?
Review
"Brutal, bloody and totally engaging, Truth Dare Kill is sure to be a favorite for the fan of noir and for the fan of well-researched period mysteries, too. Highly recommended." —iloveamystery
