Description
But there are unknown figures lurking in the shadows and Bucke is drawn into the dangerous world of international politics, with assassins playing out a clandestine war on the streets of the town, ready to kill the innocent to protect themselves. As he desperately runs out of time to prevent another murder, Bucke has to find the answers which have eluded him. Who is the murderer? Is it Daniel Guy? Is it someone else? Just how many murderers are there? There is a bigger question for him too. If, as they say, justice is blind, are there occasions when the law should be blind too?

Firstly, many thanks go to Netgalley and Troubadour publishing for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my opinion.
The story is set in Swansea during the late nineteenth century and follows Rumsey Burke, a police inspector and all round good man who tries to maintain law and order amongst the locals and visiting seaman whilst grieving for his wife and children. He is called upon to investigate the attempted murder of Mary Guy by her husband Daniel but little does he know that by doing so he will uncover plans and crimes darker than the Swansea night sky.
The story was a bit of a slow burner but once it got going, I was hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and loved that some of the characters were real people. The author’s note at the end of the book explains more about this and it just brought more depth to the story. Bravo Mr Brookes.
