Product Description

Review
'Kelly's writing is mesmerizing. It is clear and perfectly paced with characters that stay in one's mind long after the book is finished.' Deadly Pleasures 'The Lone Traveller is an assured and chillingly plausible debut story for Kelly's new detective...I sincerely hope that this will be the first of many cases for Gregory Summers.' Sherlock Holmes Magazine 'There's a welcome new detective, Superintendent Gregory Summers, in Susan Kelly's new novel' The Daily Express

Product Description
The summer solstice is drawing near: tension is already running high between the New Age Travellers, the Romanies and the townspeople of Hungerford when six-year-old Jordon Abbot is found dead. Residents blame a simple-minded Romany lad. Taking the law into their own hands, an angry lynch mob descends on the gypsy encampment...Superintendent Gregory Summers of the Newbury police force tries to appease the locals but it is a mysterious stranger - a lone traveller - who saves the Romany. As Summers discovers more about the life and death of Jordan Abbot, he, too, finds himself becoming a lone crusader, battling against his own demons, a hostile media and the public's hunger for retribution at any cost...

4.0 out of 5 stars Disturbingly realistic charachters and settings, 3 Aug 2001
By Ms. N. Hart "Nicki" (U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The story breaks gently counjering up a familarly rural English setting. The heat is applied as a child goes missing from her bedroom one night, in the sleepy town of Hungerford. Superintendent Gregory Summers is a likable police hero with a complicated and tragic past of his own. The plot is also interlaced with genuinely sympathetic travelling families and their customs, which I found facinating. For me, an avid reader of crime fiction, the icing on the cake with this book is that you still don't know "who dunnit" right up to the very last pages and when you find out its a sledgehammer of a surprise!Made me want to run away with the gypsys too!
