- & Mc Avoy must find a way to stop the deadly game. See Judys Review See Richards Review Download A Sample Chapter Of Dark Winter See David Mark talk about his book Read about the Author Exclusive Bonus Content Write a Review for Dark Winter Judys Review The Dark Winter is David Marks debut novel & very impressive it is. Mark has been a journalist for fifteen years; seven of them spent as crime reporter for The Yorkshire Post in its Hull office. The word is that its taken Mark years to convince a publisher that a crime novel set in Hull as opposed to London New York or Los Angeles will sell. That Quercus finally took him on is to its credit as this first novel is strong & compulsively readable. The Dark Winter is set in a bleak wintery Hull just before Christmas. Mark describes Hull colourfully as A city on its arse fighting recession & deprivation." The books protagonist is DS Aector Mc Avoy a gentle giant of a man deeply devoted to his little family. He is a man of honour & principle trying to keep his head down in a police department full of resentment rivalry & lies. It falls to Mc Avoy to investigate a serial killer who begins to murder a number of unlikely victims
- all of them linked only by the fact that they are all sole survivors of different tragic events from their pasts. These include the only man saved from the wreck of a sinking trawler a girl who miraculously escaped a massacre in Sierra Leone & a man who survived a domestic house fire that killed his wife & children. I loved it. Richards Review
