Yesterday's Papers
Martin Edwards
Fourth novel in the highly-acclaimed harry devlin crime series. On Leap Year Day in 1964, an attractive teenager called Carole Jeffries was strangled in a Liverpool park. The killing caused a sensation: Carole came from a prominent political family and her pop musician boyfriend was a leading exponent of the Mersey Sound. When a neighbour confessed to the crime, the case was closed. Now, more than thirty years later, Ernest Miller, an amateur criminologist, seeks to persuade lawyer Harry Devlin that the true culprit escaped scot free. Although he suspects Miller's motives, Harry has a thirst for justice and begins to delve into the past. But when another death occurs, it becomes clear that someone wants old secrets to remain buried. At any price.Review'Perhaps Edwards' greatest achievement in this excellent thriller is to sustain an almost novel-length red herring which, in a story of continual twists, isn't giving too much away' The Sunday Times; 2 'Well written, well paced and wryly amusing...I haven't read a book with two more entertaining twists in the tail in years' Gerard Siggins, Sunday Tribune; 3 'There's a dizzying cast of characters here...some excellent dialogue, a wonderful description of a typical solicitor's archives and a good account of what it takes to become a middle-aged belly dancer' Frances Fyfield, New Law Journal" About the AuthorMartin Edwards is head of employment law at Liverpool and Manchester solicitors, Mace & Jones. In addition to the Harry Devlin series, he has published many short stories and articles, edited eight crime fiction anthologies and written six non-fiction legal books.
