Sobre este título
Essex, February, 1991. The weather is biting cold. Everyone would rather be somewhere warmer, which is why it's a big surprise when a wanted drug smuggler, Bruce Hopkins, risks a return to his old haunts in Colchester after a decade long exile on the Costa del Sol. Lured back by a letter from the wife Hopkins left behind, no one is more surprised than him when he finds himself abducted and stripped bare only to be sent to a watery grave in the boot of a stolen Ford Sierra. The police wonder if it could be retaliation from a Spanish gang, sending a warning to their English counterparts?
DS Daniel Kenton is teamed up with the unorthodox DS Brazier to investigate a crime wave which takes in not only the murder of an expat dope smuggler, but a sophisticated arson attack on a Norman church and the unexpected suicide of an ageing florist. Could there possibly be a thread that connects them?
Written with the humour and period detail that have become his trademark, and set in the badlands of his beloved Essex, A Winter Visitor is James Henry at his inimitable best.

Resumo da Crítica
A highly readable novel with an entertaining storyline and intriguing characters.
Pacy and expertly engineered, this is a superior police procedural with a wonderful sense of place and time; pitch-perfect period detail range from the start of the "care in the community" policy of deinstitutionalisation, to mis-sold endowment mortgages and Man at C&A. Highly recommended.
Extremely well-written . . . let's hope for a swift return of this oddball duo.
No one writes Essex like James Henry
