Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday
August 9, 2022. We will be reading A Cold Case by Peter Turnbull. This
book features retired constable Maurice Mundy, who has started a job with a
cold case squad.
The book summary from the publisher’s website is “Maurice
Mundy, recently retired detective constable at the Metropolitan Police, has
returned to join Scotland Yard’s Cold Case Review Team. Ten years ago a
twelve-year-old boy was murdered, his body left floating in a nearby pond. A
second look at the case soon reveals that a sex worker was also murdered nearby
on the same night. While nothing linked the two murders at the time, it is one
of a number of attacks on sex workers over a twenty-year period that Essex
Police are still investigating as part of Operation Moonlight. Known as a loose
cannon who doesn’t always play by the rules, Mundy is in danger of ruffling
more than a few feathers as he probes deeper into the events of that fateful
night. Will his maverick approach lead him to the truth, or will it prove to be
a dangerous step too far?”
We will be meeting at 6:30 pm in the Second Floor Meeting
Room and on Zoom. For more information, and the Zoom link, contact Sara at the
Reference Desk.
