A Hymn of Death
by Alison Joseph

Meet Sister Agnes. She’s not your typical nun. She loves killer shoes, sipping prosecco — and solving mysteries . . .

He died with a song in a seedy London alley.

Agnes can’t stop thinking of Andy McFadden. A tortured veteran with no place left to call home, except the shelter where Agnes works. It’s years since he left the army. But the real battle will always be inside his own head.

When Andy is killed in a drunken brawl, one dark night in Charing Cross, Agnes is saddened but not surprised. She just can’t believe Andy’s friend was the one to strike the fatal blow.

If only Andy’s friend could set the record straight. But his memories of the night are hazy at best . . .

The only thing he can recall with any clarity is a mystery woman. Holding Andy close as his life drained away. Singing a lullaby.

Was she really there or did he dream her?

Please note this book was previously published as The Darkening Sky.

This masterfully crafted, character-driven mystery is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Robert Galbraith, Val McDermid, L.J. Ross and P.D. James.
