Third in a series of unique but connected thrillers set against an evolving backdrop of immense social change. The noir nightmare continues during the harsh winter of 1980. The Ripper murders his thirteenth victim and the whole of Yorkshire is terrorised. Assistant Chief Constable Hunter struggles to solve the hellish crimes and bring an end to the horror, but is drawn ever deeper into a world of corruption and sleaze. After his house is burned down, his wife?s life is threatened and his colleagues turn against him, Hunter?s quest becomes personal as he is left with nothing more to lose. Nineteen Eighty is a compelling battle between two desperate men, each determined to destroy the other. The latest dark Yorkshire journey confirms Peace?s reputation as one of the most talented contemporary crime writers.
