Brighton Trilogy
by Peter Guttridge
First gripping mystery in the Brighton Trilogy - July 1934. A woman's torso is found in a trunk at Brighton railway station's left luggage office. Her identity is never established, her killer never caught. But someone is keeping a diary ... July 2009. Ambitious radio journalist Kate Simpson hopes to solve the notorious Brighton Trunk Murder, and she enlists the help of ex-Chief Constable Robert Watts, whose role in the recent botched armed-police operation in Milldean, Brighton’s notorious no-go area, cost him his job. But it’s only a matter of time before past and present collide ...
"Despite a major coincidence that connects the two plot lines, Guttridge ... successfully pulls readers in, and many will be eager to pick up the dangling plot threads in the second book." - Publishers Weekly
