Beschreibung
Murder at the Mersea Island Hotel. The Mersea Island Hotel is a small, discreet luxury hotel on the eastern side of Mersea Island. A respected arms manufacturer is found dead in locked hotel room 104, a bayonet buried in his neck. The weapon appears symbolic-until it proves anything but. Silas Quirk, a former War Office investigator, is summoned to assist the local police. Upon initial review, the case appears straightforward. A discreet hotel, a private visitor, a convenient suspect already in custody. But as Quirk digs deeper, he uncovers a chain of silences stretching far beyond the hotel-into military procurement offices, medical records quietly erased, and a woman whose life vanished without a trace. The bayonet turns out to be an antique, never issued publicly, tied to a failed government contract before the Boer War. The deceased individual was being probed for providing faulty armaments to the military and was cooperating. Someone wanted him silenced. Or worse, discredited. As witnesses forget, records disappear, and pressure mounts from London, Quirk realises the truth is not merely hidden-it is being maintained. And exposing it may cost more than one innocent life. Set against the fog and tension of wartime Britain, Murder at the Mersea Island Hotel. is a gripping historical mystery about power, erasure, and the dangerous cost of telling the wrong truth at the wrong time..
