A quiet village. A serial killer in the dark. A detective racing against time.
When Samuel Bracknell is found with a knife in his back, the sleepy village of Carleton Unthank is thrown into terror. It’s the third murder in as many weeks, and the connection is chilling—the same knife was used in each crime. But this time, the killer left the weapon behind.
As Scotland Yard’s Inspector Littlejohn digs deeper, a fourth body turns up—an apparent suicide. With fear gripping the village and no clear suspects, Littlejohn must unravel a puzzle where the only certainty is death. Will he uncover the truth before the killer strikes again?
A 4.2-star Amazon bestseller, Death in the Fearful Night is a classic British mystery from George Bellairs, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Colin Dexter.
