Charles Todd is The New York Times Bestselling author of twelve Ian Rutledge mysteries, two Bess Crawford mysteries, and one stand-alone novel.  A mother-and-son writing team, they live in Delaware and North Carolina, respectively.

In A Lonley Death, three men have been murdered in a Sussex village, and Scotland Yard has been called in. It’s a baffling case.  All the victims are soldiers who have made it home alive from the Great War, which ended two years ago, only to be garroted, with small ID disks left in their mouths.  And shortly after Inspector Ian Rutledge arrives, there’s a fourth murder.  The killer is vicious and clever, leaving behind few clues. As the stakes ratchet up, Rutledge is determined to find answers, even as he puts his job, his reputation, and even his life on the line.

Praise for A Lonely Death: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery…

“Another engaging entry in a fine series.”
-Booklist on A Lonely Death

“Todd’s intriguing revenge tale will keep the reader turning the pages, but the main draw remains Rutledge, the relentless inspector haunted by the voice of a Scotsman he executed on the battlefield for disobeying an order.  Highly recommended for all aficionados of British postwar historical mysteries.”
-Library Journal on A Lonely Death

“Eloquently blasts war for the obscenity it is.”
-Kirkus Reviews on A Lonely Death

“[The authors’] subtle prose and profound empathy for all their characters enhance a suspenseful and twisty plot.”
-Publishers Weekly on A Lonely Death
