Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday May
2, 2017. The book we will be discussing is The Yard by Alex Grecian.
This is the first book featuring Inspector Walter Day of the newly formed
Murder Squad at Scotland Yard. Alex Grecian is an American writer who bases his
stories in England.
The book summary from the author’s website is “1890,
London. Jack the Ripper’s reign of
terror is finally over, but a new one is just beginning…
Victorian London is a cesspool of crime and Scotland Yard
has only twelve detectives – known as “The Murder Squad” – to investigate
countless murders every month. Created
after the Metropolitan police’s spectacular failure to capture Jack the Ripper,
The Murder Squad suffers rampant public contempt. They have failed their citizens. But, no one can anticipate the brutal murder
of one of their own…one of twelve…
When Walter Day, the squad’s newest hire, is assigned the
case of the murdered detective, he finds a strange ally in the Yard’s first
forensic pathologist, Dr. Bernard Kingsley.
Together they track the killer, who clearly is not finished with The
Murder Squad…but why?”
Join us in the Second Floor Meeting Room of the Library at
