Hunting Shadows: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Warren had had nearly ten days to solve the first murder and four to tackle the second. That in itself was trying; add to it the necessity of calling in the Yard, and the man had every reason to feel he had failed in the eyes of his own Chief Constable. “Do you think the killer is satisfied? Or will he find a new target?” Rutledge asked after a moment. “Now that he’s twice successfully evaded the police?” “Who knows what’s in his mind?” Warren sounded tired. “The question is, is he moving west, looking for victims? Or is he choosing a village or town and then picking someone? Mind you, these aren’t ordinary folk—the butcher’s boy, an elderly seamstress, the dairyman. Hutchinson had something of a reputation, I’m told—he moved in the best London circles, and all that. Swift was a solicitor, standing for public office for the first time. God knows who might be in this killer’s sights next.” Rutledge had already considered that possibility.
