Synopsis
A police inspector investigates a grisly murder at a movie premiere in this dark historical mystery set in pre–World War I London. London, April 1914. Against his better judgement, Detective Inspector Silas Quinn is attending the premiere of the new motion picture by notorious American film-maker Konrad Waechter. But the glamorous event is interrupted by the piercing screams of a young woman in the street outside. She has been viciously mutilated in a horrific accident which eerily echoes a macabre act of violence in Waechter&’s film. As he questions those who attended the premiere, Quinn&’s jaundiced view of the fledgling film industry as a business based on pretense, where no one is what they seem, appears to be justified. But soon the investigation takes a disturbing twist that has him questioning everything he thought he knew . . . An excellent choice for fans of C. J. Sansom, Rory Clements and S. G. MacLean.Praise for The Dark Palace &“Stellar. . . . [Quinn&’s] most bizarre case yet. . . . Ruth Rendell fans open to stories set a century ago will be well satisfied.&” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)&“A lively cast of supporting characters . . . adds Dickensian zest. Quinn&’s third case . . . benefits greatly from Morris&’ colorful period-flavor prose.&” —Kirkus Reviews
