From the author of the bestselling Railway Detective series

Chicago, 1931. While the Great Depression has tightened its grip on the world, there are still some who have the means to make their dreams a reality. One of these men is Hobart St John, who wants a mansion in the suburb of Oak Park. For young Welsh architect Merlin Richards, the opportunity to work on the house is an answer to his prayer.

But Richards' elation soon turns to confusion and fear. A body has been found on site hanging from a rafter. The authorities dismiss it as suicide but how can that be the case when his hands were tied behind his back? Richards' dream assignment is fast becoming a nightmare, and he realises that the answers he wants might cost him his life.

Story told in 9 hours that could VERY easily be told in about 4. Too many side characters, and the murder didn’t even happen until about 5 hours in! Conclusion was predicable apart from one wee shock at the end - which in hindsight I should have seen coming as it was literally the only way the main character couldn’t have ended up being arrested for murder! Only good thing about it was the Frank Lloyd Wright history lesson!

Overlong, convoluted and boring - potential spoilers
