Bolt from the Blue

Silver and Simm Victorian Mysteries, #7

Luke Alden had everything to live for – a good job, a loving wife and a child on the way – until the events of one stormy night destroyed it all. Some people said it was an act of God, but police in the Cotswold market town suspect it was a very human hand that started a fire and left Alden to die inside a burning building.

Did someone resent Alden's good fortune enough to kill him, or was there another motive? Clock repairer Jacob Silver and his housemaid Sarah Simm join forces with the police to track down a killer who is as elusive as a bolt of lightning, and just as destructive.

'Bolt from the Blue' is the seventh book in the Silver and Simm Victorian Mysteries series.
