Intruder in the dark

This novel functions as a self-contained mystery, and while it is part of a long-running series, the narrative does not require prior knowledge of Littlejohn's previous cases to follow the investigation.

While many of the author's stories are set on the Isle of Man or in France, this particular entry focuses on the atmosphere of a quiet, nearly deserted English village, which is a hallmark setting for his classic detective puzzles.
