W. J. Burley Bücher

John Burley war ein Autor, dessen Stimme mit jedem Buch stärker und sicherer wurde. Seine Fähigkeit, Bilder mit wenigen Worten zu erschaffen, zeugt von einem Autoren, der seiner Handwerkskunst sicher ist. Sein Werk verdient es, neben den Meistern der Kriminalliteratur zu stehen, wie dem Schöpfer von Kommissar Maigret. Burleys Prosa fesselte eine treue Leserschaft, die seine Qualität und meisterhafte Ausführung erkannte.

Wycliffe takles a case which reaches back down the generations ...
In a tranquil Cornish town, Detective Superintendent Wycliffe is faced with a family of secrets - and murder...
The peace of the idyllic Scilly Isles is shattered, and now Detective Superintendent Wycliffe must solve a brutal crime.
Two very different young women have been murdered within the same week. One was a nightclub singer, the other a nurse, but both were strangled in their own homes in strangely efficient, remarkably similar attacks. The press is quick to assume there's a psychopath on the loose, but Detective Chief Superintendent Wycliffe suspects the truth may be somewhat more complex. When another attack is aborted for no apparent reason, Wycliffe is certain that this is no random spate of murders. But with his superiors and the media uninterested in his theories, Wycliffe knows he will have to work alone to find the killer. As he searches for a link between the victims, his investigations take him back in timeto a school trip, an isolated hostel, and a cruel joke on a lonely student.
