Powder Smoke: Jim Stringer
Autor Andrew Martinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2022
On a chilly December evening in 1925, while walking to meet his wife at York railway station, detective inspector Jim Stringer finds himself face to face with a man pointing a revolver straight at him.
In a flash Jim's thoughts go spinning back to a hot day at the end of August, when he attended a Wild West sideshow at the York Summer Gala with his boss, Superintendent Saul Weatherill, aka 'the Chief'. He remembers the moody young sharpshooter who led the show, his strange Arizonian yet English accent, and above all, his deadeye skills...
Andrew Martin's much-loved railway policeman Jim Stringer returns in his most dangerous investigation yet.

Recenzii
A gripping, highly atmospheric story . . . a real page turner
York railway station, December, 1925. Detective Inspector Jim Stringer is enjoying a pint in the Parlour Bar before accompanying his wife, Lydia, to a charitable function. But when the couple meet at their regular spot near the footbridge, Jim is alarmed to see a man pointing a revolver in his direction.
His thoughts go spinning back to a hot day at the end of August, when he attended the York Summer Gala in company with his boss, Superintendent Saul Weatherill, aka 'the Chief'. The Chief, a lover of guns, had insisted on taking Jim into a Wild West sideshow. The star of the show was a moody young sharpshooter called Kid Durrant, who spoke like someone who'd come from Arizona via Sheffield (or vice versa).
As Jim watched Durrant displaying his deadeye skills, he little realised how this would be the start of his most dangerous investigation yet.
POWDER SMOKE heralds the return of Andrew Martin's much-loved railway policeman, Jim Stringer.
