Description :
'Tightly plotted, meticulously researched, and written with wonderful panache. Death of an Officer is an excellent entry in a truly remarkable historical mystery series' TOM MEAD
London. Spring 1943 . While Europe continues to suffer under the iron fist of Nazi occupation, Britain remains battered but unbowed.
DCI Frank Merlin, already contending with a booming wartime crime wave in the capital, is confronted with a baffling case: the brutal murder of a respected doctor.
Following a puzzling trail that leads him into the hidden corners of clubland - and which appears to be linked to the disappearance of both British and American officers - Merlin must untangle a dark web of shocking secrets.
Praise for Mark Ellis:
'This is to my shame the first Mark Ellis book I've read. If the others evoke a vanished London so impressively, are graced with such complex plots and deep characterisation, and, above all, are written so well I shall have to read them all. ' THE TIMES
'Masterly . . . compelling . . . one of the most attractive characters to emerge in recent detective-thriller fiction ' ANDREW ROBERTS, SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
'Against the backdrop of Blitz-hit London, this stylish thriller sees Scotland Yard's Frank Merlin investigate a tangled conspiracy' SUNDAY MIRROR
'An atmospheric, compelling evocation of war-torn London in the wake of the Blitz, where DCI Frank Merlin fights against a tidal wave of crime' GEOFFREY WANSELL, Crime and Thriller Reviewer, DAILY MAIL
'Unputdownable' ROBERT LYMAN
'Mark Ellis delivers diamonds - an intriguing, masterly juggling of an intricate plot and an enviable command of detail .' JOHN LAWTON
'Extraordinarily atmospheric and compelling, DEAD IN THE WATER is a wonderfully intelligent and complex story' CHRIS LLOYD, HWA Gold Crown Award winner.
'...historical noir at its best. Mark Ellis's talents as a writer are many; finely embroidered plotting, a meticulously researched historical context and place, and rounded characters whose lives and capers become real for a reader' GARY DONNELLY
