Description
Book SynopsisScotland Yard’s Ian Rutledge seeks a killer who has eluded Scotland Yard for years in this next installment of the acclaimed New York Times bestselling series.
An astonishing tip from a grateful ex-convict seems implausible—but Inspector Ian Rutledge is intrigued and brings it to his superior at Scotland Yard.
Trade Review“An absolute winner! The Black Ascot delivers everything we’ve come to love about an Ian Rutledge novel... If there’s ever been a more complex and compelling hero in crime fiction than Inspector Rutledge, I can’t think of one.” — Jeffery Deaver on The Black Ascot “A masterpiece of imagination.” — Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author, on the Ian Rutledge series “The authors... never let the series settle into an easy formula, and they always keep the reader guessing. This one feels just as fresh as the early Rutledge novels.” — Booklist on The Black Ascot “The investigation and its ultimate destination are gripping.” — Kirkus Reviews on The Black Ascot “This mystery is one of the finest in the series... One of the best I have read by Charles Todd—very highly recommended!” — Historical Novels Review on The Gate Keeper “Somber, moving, and utterly spellbinding...evocative....Rutledge’s ongoing courageous refusal to surrender to the dark forces buffeting him on all sides is a shining example of resolve, nerve, and decency, and makes haunted Ian Rutledge impossible to drive out of one’s mind.” — Strand Magazine on A Long Shadow “Charles Todd (actually a mother-son writing team) pulls off the voice-in-the-head device exquisitely. Moreover, the series is populated with highly nuanced characters, and the historical research is spot on. In Racing the Devil, the pacing is compelling.” — Newark Star Ledger on Racing the Devil
