Murder at Lord's Station

The pace is fast and furious with old-fashioned detection winning out against the forces of villainy - Daily Mail

Jim Eldridge, author of the Museum Mysteries, turns his pen to Wartime London's Underground stations.

London, March 1941. The Blitz continues to cast a shadow over the city's brightest spots such as the Caf de Paris. Having narrowly escaped a devastating bomb attack on the nightclub, Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called to the disused Lord's Underground station where the body of a man has been discovered.

The dead man was beaten to death by what may have been a cricket bat. Is he linked to the British Empire XI, made up of players from Great Britain and far-flung corners of the globe, who are playing at the world-famous Lord's Cricket Ground? Coburg and Lampson are certainly put in a spin by this complex case.

Perfect for fans of Mark Ellis and T.E. Kinsey

Readers love Jim Eldridge:

'The sense of time and place created is perhaps my favourite aspect of these books, and whilst I thoroughly enjoy the mystery behind the murders, which are often very visceral, despite the cozy nature of the books, I love feeling as if I am walking alongside the characters, smelling, seeing, hearing, feeling and tasting everything they are.'

'Well-written and entertaining historical mystery.'

' I fully lost myself in from the opening chapter. Memorable characters, atmosphere galore, and masterful plotting all combine into an impeccable mystery.'

'Great story, well-paced and keeps you guessing.'
