London Society takes their problems to Sherlock Holmes. Everyone else goes to Arrowood. 'Finlay depicts a seedy, desperate London and vivid characters with considerable skill' The Times
Mick Finlay Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Mick Finlay creëert boeiende historische misdaadromans, diep puttend uit zijn achtergrond in de psychologie. Zijn romans knetteren van energie en humor, en dompelen lezers onder in de rauwe sfeer van het Victoriaanse Londen. Finlay blinkt uit in het portretteren van gebrekkige, complexe personages, en biedt een volkse, scherpgebekte tegenhanger voor meer verfijnde detectives. Zijn werk biedt een unieke, psychologisch gedreven verkenning van misdaad en menselijk gedrag.

William Arrowood returns . . .'Crackles with energy and wit' The Times South London, 1896. William Arrowood, Victorian London's less salubrious private detective, is paid a visit by Captain Moon, the owner of a pleasure steamer moored on the Thames. He complains that someone has been damaging his boat, putting his business in jeopardy. Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett suspect professional jealousy, but when a string of skulls is retrieved from the river, it seems like even fouler play is afoot. It's up to Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett to solve the case, before any more corpses end up in the watery depths . . . Praise for Mick Finlay: 'Another brilliant read from Mick Finlay . . . even better than Arrowood]' B.A. Paris 'Astounding ... If you crave Victorian age murder mystery, love darkly gothic atmospheres and want your detective rather tattered and torn at the edges Arrowood is your man.' SHOTS 'Enthralling' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
