490 1  A John Madden mystery 
520    "In the fifth novel in the critically acclaimed John 
       Madden series, the former Scotland Yard detective returns 
       in a gripping post-World War II mystery that will delight 
       fans of Philip Kerr    On a hot summer day in 1938, a 
       beautiful actress is murdered on the grand Kent estate of 
       Sir Jack Jessup, close friend of the Prince of Wales. The 
       arrest of an ex-convict and his subsequent confession 
       swiftly bring the case to a close, but in 1949, the 
       reappearance of a jade necklace raises questions about the
       murder. Was the man convicted and executed the decade 
       before truly guilty?    Though happily retired from the 
       police force, John Madden is persuaded to investigate the 
       case afresh. In a story of honor and justice that takes 
       Madden through the idyllic English countryside, post-war 
       streets of London, and into the criminal underworld of the
       Chinese Triads, The Death of Kings is an atmospheric and 
       captivating police procedural"--|cProvided by publisher.
