Beschreibung

The Reprisal is the sixth volume in the Ian Caxton Thriller series. When Ian spots an opportunity to attain revenge on his nemesis Jonathan Northgate, he has no idea he'll be antagonising the police and become entangled with a dangerous Mafia-like organisation. Out of his depth and frustrated, Ian eventually realises his actions may now have dire consequences for both family and friends… but is his desperate response too late? In Antigua, Oscar is invited by a client to view an unusual painting. However, after initially thinking the picture is worthless he is amazed to discover other pictures painted by the same abstract artist have each sold for over twenty million dollars! His big challenge is to convince the artist's foundation, in New York, that his client's picture is authentic and therefore potentially worth a similarly staggering fortune. Another dramatic page-turning tale of adventure, conspiracy and determination, where lives are at risk.

    A Streatham banker named Mr Alexander Holder makes a loan of £50,000 (equivalent to approximately £5.76 million in 2019[1][2]) to a socially prominent client, who leaves a beryl coronet - one of the most valuable public possessions in existence - as collateral. Feeling his bank's personal safe is insufficient to protect such a rare and precious piece of jewellery, he takes it home and keeps it in his dressing room. However, he and his niece Mary later find his son Arthur holding the coronet, seemingly trying to bend it, and three beryls missing from it. A panicked Holder seeks out Sherlock Holmes for help. 
    Despite the damning evidence against Arthur, who is refusing to give a statement, Holmes is unconvinced. With the threat of Holder's reputation being besmirched and a national scandal weighing heavily on his mind, Holmes determines Arthur could not have broken the coronet on his own without making noise, notices footprints in the snow outside Holder's home, and considers Holder's servants, Mary, and Arthur's rakish friend Sir George Burnwell as potential suspects.

    England, 1617 
     
     
    Susanna Cobbett, teenage daughter of a powerful Worcester landowner, is found dead in a gloomy woodland pond which has an evil reputation as the Witching Pool. The girl is said to have drowned herself, driven to madness by a local widow named Agnes Mason, who is arrested on a charge of witchcraft. If found guilty, she will hang at the next Assizes. 
     
     
    But Justice Belstrang, shrewd ex-magistrate and sceptic, does not believe a word of it. And when Agnes’s family beg him to help, he finds himself caught up in an ever-darkening mystery. 
     
     
    Another death follows: that of Susanna’s lover, a young shepherd. He too is reported to have drowned himself at the Witching Pool, unable to face life without his beloved. But from local woodsman Ned Berritt, Belstrang learns there’s more to it – and when Berritt too is found dead soon after, he becomes even more determined to uncover the truth. 
     
     
    The mystery grows murkier, however, as Belstrang is pitted against his old rival Justice Standish. 
     
     
    But Belstrang’s stubbornness and passion for justice drives him on. With the help of his friend and fellow-sceptic Doctor Boyd, he unravels the terrible crimes that have lain hidden behind the doors of the great manor of Ebbfield. 
     
     
    Belstrang must confront and apprehend his suspect - and risk his own life in the attempt. 
     
     
    Recommended for fans of Andrew Taylor, CJ Sansom and SJ Parris.
