Deady and the Dead

 

​

Aveniis a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on ENGLAND - SPRING 1945.

 

The war in Europe draws to a bloody conclusion, not that Detective Inspector Thaddeus Hunloke is sentient to any promise of peace.

Whilst investigating the case of a missing teenage girl, Thaddeus is a man wracked with guilt over the forthcoming hanging of murderess Carey Gladwin. He is also pining for his forbidden love, Lady Violet Gray.

Against the backdrop of self-recrimination, Thaddeus is given a new case to investigate. The body of a man has been discovered on a derelict bombsite, the dumping ground of choice for London’s underworld.

Yet another murdered civilian at a time when true homicide rates are at best scant and death all too prevalent in society might have elicited little attention had it not been for the US-issued Army dog tags carried around the dead man’s neck.

Metropolitan Police enquiries into the murdered man’s identity fall upon the desk of First Lieutenant Robert Deady of the Criminal Investigation Branch of the US Provost Marshals Department.

Robert’s own particular nemesis is no German but a US Army deserter, one Edward George Scuse. Scuse’s black market dealings have left a trail of destruction across France and he is now looking to expand his nefarious and murderous entrepreneurial operations in England.

It is in the pursuit of Edward George Scuse that Robert Deady’s path crosses that of Detective Inspector Thaddeus Hunloke. Although allies, both men are rightly suspicious of each other.

A top-secret Anglo-American conference is earmarked to take place at the military requisitioned Flash House in Derbyshire. Through connivance and Thaddeus’ longing to return to Flash House in Derbyshire, the inspector is re-subpoenaed back into the Army with the rank of captain in order to oversee the restoration of the Gothic Revival mansion by the German POWs housed on the Flash Estate.

Once again, Flash House provides the catalyst for old friendships and loves to be rekindled and a convergence point for the various threads to come together in explosive and tragic circumstances that leaves none of the protagonists unaffected.
