The Blue Tango

Více o knize

At 2.20am on 13th November 1952 the body of nineteen-year-old Patricia Curran was carried into the family doctor's surgery. She had been stabbed thirty-seven times... The Curran family were tainted by scandal - Judge Lance Curran, weighed down by gambling debt; Desmond, lost in religious zealotry - and there were rumors of savage disagreements between Patricia and her mother. In a storm of publicity, Chief Superintendent John Capstick uncovers a complex web of deceit. Determined to secure a conviction, his focus falls on a peripheral figure, a young army conscript, Iain Hay Gordon, who finds himself fighting for his life in the shadow of the gallows.
