River of Darkness

It is 1921 and a terrible discovery has been made at a manor house in Surrey - the bloodied of Colonel Fletcher, his wife and two of their staff. The victims have all been stabbed, and the lack of disturbance in the house suggests that the attack was one of terrifying speed. The Surrey police force seem ready to put the murders down to robbery with violence, but Detective Inspecotor Madden from Scotland Yard sees things slightly differently. For he has experienced the horrors of the First World War and has seen madness at first hand. And this crime, he is sure, has been prepetrated by a psychpath who will strike again... and soon.
