Quiet Murder — Nancy Livingston

It looked like a burglary gone wrong...

And it left a harmless old-age pensioner dead. However, burns and gashes on the man's face told a different story: Ernest Clare had been tortured.

As fear hangs heavily about the residents of Inkerman Street, retired tax inspector G. D. H. Pringle, urged on by his ever-persuasive lady friend, Mavis Bignell, reluctantly gets involved.

A savage attack on a young woman in London's Southend puts the police on the trail of a possible connection. But Pringle pursues a different direction, uncovering a dark and shocking motive for murder.
