Showing results for "Traffic" in Mystery

It's autumn 1963, and there's a dark cloud hanging over London. Literally. The thick, impenetrable smog is the perfect cover for a killer who's stalking the streets, not that traffic warden, Gabriella Farnsworth, knows that when she's approached by three young boys who say they've found a body. When her boyfriend, Detective Sergeant James Archer, gets assigned the case, he begins to build a picture of the killer's patterns and becomes increasingly nervous every time the smog settles over the city. Especially when bodies are found once the mist clears.

She's used to temper tantrums, swearing, and threats, but finding a dead body is an entirely new low. She isn't interested in getting more involved than she already is in the investigation into the man she found's death. But when a few days later, she stumbles over a second body lying feet away from where she found the first, she can't avoid it. She knows the streets of her route and the people on them, but she is absolutely astonished when New Scotland Yard discovers the art gallery near where she found the bodies is a front for mixing up a new psychedelic drug.
