Congratulations to R. M. Cullen, whose twisty murder mystery, Death’s Long Shadow, is out now!
Death’s Long Shadow is the second instalment in the Richard Brinsley Sheridan Mystery Series: eighteenth-century crime thrillers set in London at a time of Revolution.
1792
Playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s retreat to the country is interrupted when he stumbles upon a body during a woodland stroll.
The man is identified as Edward Stretton, cousin to Earl Cannock who Sheridan is residing with.
Stretton had a reputation as a scoundrel and seducer and was heavily in debt at the time of his death.
He had been poisoned, and when the Earl’s servants are questioned, unusual evidence puts one man in custody.
But Sheridan is not convinced of his guilt. And one another man is murdered, he suspects there may be a connection.
Can Sheridan uncover the link? Could he save an innocent man from death?
Or will this case prove too complex for this amateur sleuth…?
