An echo of murder : a William Monk novel
(Large Print)

"Thorndike Press large print basic."

The summer of 1870. Thames River Police commander William Monk arrives at a riverfront warehouse, where Hungarian businessman Imrus Fodor lies dead, impaled by a bayonet. Fodor?s fingers are broken, and 17 candles are arrayed nearby, all bloody and two of an unusual blue. The victim?s enigmatic countryman, Antal Dobokai, who discovered the body, serves as translator as Monk investigates London?s close-knit Hungarian community. Leads are few, until identical murders occur. Londoners panic, ethnic tensions flare, and Monk?s wife, Hester, becomes involved when a friend is suspected.
