Review:
Praise for THE DARK WINTER by David Mark:
“British crime reporter Mark’s outstanding first novel, a suspenseful whodunit, introduces Det. Sgt. Aector McAvoy...Readers will want to see more of the complicated McAvoy, who well deserves a sophisticated and disturbing plot.”—Publisher’s Weekly (Starred)
“[A]n impressive debut. John Harvey readers should take note.”
—Booklist (starred) “With a poetic intensity in its prose, an unpredictable plot and a Scottish detective, Mark’s novel gripped me from its opening pages.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “It will not be long until new voices in the genre are hailed as the ‘next David Mark.’”
—Bookpage.com “Fast moving and tightly plotted, with strong characterization and a likeable protagonist, this is an extremely promising debut.”—The Guardian “The Dark Winter is a promising debut by David Mark... certainly provides a trip to Hull and back.”—The Telegraph Dark Winter is a fantastic debut of a police procedural series that takes place in northern England. Just as Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy seems to be able to put himself in the mind of a killer, David Mark has developed his characters so completely that the reader can almost put himself in the mind of McAvoy as he is connecting dots that no one else even sees. McAvoy may be a gentle giant of a man but he is also determined to get at the truth even if his job is in jeopardy. Luckily, he finds a believer in his boss, another dedicated officer who also is fighting to keep her job.—Nancy McFarlane, Fiction Addiction “The Dark Winter is an exceptional debut from an exciting new talent. David Mark is an original and captivating new voice.”—Val McDermid

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. " McAvoy lets his mind drift back to the chaos and bloodshed in the square. To that moment when the masked man appeared from the doorway of the church and looked into his eyes. Is there anything distinctive, Sarge? asks Nielsen. Yes, he says, with the sudden sense that memory is important. There were tears in his eyes. DS Aector McAvoy is a man with a troubled past. His unwavering belief in justice has made him an outsider in the police force he serves. When three seemingly unconnected people are brutally murdered in the weeks before Christmas, the police must work quickly to stop more deaths. It is only McAvoy who can see the connection between the victims. A killer is playing God and McAvoy must find a way to stop the deadly game.". Seller Inventory # 014833
