Synopsis
In a small village in the north of England, an elderly woman is brutally hanged with piano wire, and a detective's hunt for the killer uncovers, instead, the shocking double - and triple - identify of the victim. Now, assassin and murdered imposter, connected by horrors long buried with the ashes of World War II, present an agonizing present-day dilemma: is not punishment at all, perhaps, the one that fits the crime? Sombre and powerful, 'An Urge for Justice' does not shy away from exposing past and present wickedness. Dark ghosts haunt the book until the final pages, where an astonishing, terrible truth is finally brought to light. John Wainwright, master of the police procedural, proves once again that as Newsday said, he is "one of the best in the business." 'An Urge for Justice' is perhaps his most gripping, psychologically brilliant novel to date. Book Dust Jacket
