About this ebook
October, 1736. Lured out of retirement to serve as Constable once again, Richard Nottingham finds Leeds very different from the place he remembers. Many newcomers have been attracted by the town?s growing wealth,but although the faces have changed, the crimes remain the same, as Nottingham discovers when a body is found floating in the River Aire, its throat cut.
What has changed is the fear that pervades the town. With more bodies emerging and witnesses too frightened to talk, Nottingham realizes he's dealing with a new kind of criminal, someone with no respect for anything or anyone. Someone who believes he's beyond the law; someone willing brutally to destroy anyone who opposes him. To stop him, Nottingham will need to call in old favours, rely on trusted friendships, and seek help from some very unlikely sources.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/51736 Leeds and Richard Nottingham has returned from two years of retirement to become Constable again. In such a short time Leeds has changed and then the first body appears. So it is up to Nottingham and his deputy Lister to solve the mystery.
Thoroughly enjoyed the mystery, it was well-written with good characterization, though I did work out the who. It can easily be read as a standalone story.
