Yours Etc., Mr Sunday
Dan Osborne and Thorton Traverscroft are world experts on Mr Sunday, a notorious killer who slew five women in Brighton in the 1930s. When a diary purporting to be written by the murderer is discovered, both dive in with gusto - one aiming to prove the diary's authenticity, the other to demonstrate beyond doubt that it is a fake.
When a new murder occurs in Brighton, duplicating in every detail the Mr Sunday killings, both men begin to wonder whether it is more than just the killer's diary that has returned from the past.
