When a man’s body is found on the banks of the Thames with no means of identification, the police enquiry quickly stalls.
But Peter Blair has never been one for leaving a case unsolved. And when the wealthy chairman of a London shipping company mysteriously goes missing – along with an enormous unauthorised loan – Peter realises that there’s more to this death than meets the eye.
All the clues point towards some deeply suspect shipping activity, sending Peter running to the Essex coast – but can he solve the mystery before it’s too late?
With the brilliant Peter Blair at the heart of a richly-woven story, J.R.L. Anderson’s
Death in the City is a must-read for lovers of classic English crime.

A propos de l’auteur
JRL Anderson was an author of fourteen mystery stories and numerous works of non-fiction. He was a journalist at the Guardian for many years, before retiring to pursue his career as an author. He had a life-long interest in sailing and adventure, which results in many of his novels (as his original author biography from the 1970s puts it) ending ‘with an exciting sea chase in a small boat’.
