When a mysterious shooting shatters the tranquillity of a coastal New Zealand town in 1996, long-forgotten events from Cold War Britain begin to surface. What first appears to be an isolated act of violence reveals connections reaching back decades to Cheltenham in the 1960s, where unexplained deaths had drawn the attention of Detective Inspector Charlie Purselow.
As intelligence agencies, diplomats, businessmen, and ordinary families become entangled in a web of secrets, old loyalties are tested and hidden enemies emerge. Amid the intrigue and deception, the innocent observations of children offer unexpected insight into a world adults believe they understand.
Moving from the classified corridors of Cold War Britain to the sunlit harbours of New Zealand, The Murderers Amongst Us explores murder, espionage, betrayal, international intrigue, and the secrets that can survive for generations. Rich in historical detail and balanced with moments of warmth and humour, this gripping historical thriller reveals how the past can continue to shape the present.
