The Picture from the Past

The Picture from the Past

What is there about the photograph of a street from a bygone era that obsesses John Braid? Why does he conceal his true profession from his newly-wed wife? And what, if any connection is there with the â€œacid bath murdererâ€ who has already taken six lives?

And why does a tale from the past show such eerie similarities to what is happening in the presen?

â€˜The Picture from the Pastâ€™ is the ninth Paul Halter novel to be published in English by Locked Room International. An earlier novel â€˜The Crimson Fogâ€™ was named one of Publisherâ€™s Weeklyâ€™s Top Mysteries of 2013. The author, a best-selling novelist in his native France, has written over thirty novels, almost all â€˜locked roomâ€™ or â€˜impossible crime,â€™ and is widely regarded as the successor to John Dickson Carr. He appeared on BBC Radio 4â€™s program â€˜Miles Jupp in a Locked Room,â€™ broadcast on May 21, 2012
