The Marx Sisters: A Kathy Kolla and David Brock Mystery
The Marx Sisters: A Kathy Kolla and David Brock Mystery | Barry Maitland
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
Detective Kathy Kolla's first case is one for the books. Meredith Winterbottom, a resident of Jerusalem Lane--a quaint section of London inhabited by Eastern European immigrants--and a great-granddaughter of Karl Marx, is found dead. Was she the victim of greedy real-estate developers, or was she killed for the politics of another age? When a second Marx sister is killed, David Brock, Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard, is brought in to help. As Kathy and Brock delve into the Lane's eccentric melting pot, they find unpublished letters from Marx to Engels; a possible fourth volume of Das Kapital; an endless list of shady suspects; and a plot to end Kathy's investigating days for good. Can they unravel the mystery before Kathy's first case is her last? Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Another series, I‘m afraid 😱 ! I absolutely loved this series, as did my mother (that may be a “tell” regarding the “less violent” nature of these mysteries). David Brock runs a special unit for the Met in the UK (they even have their own pub in their offices!), and early on takes Kathy Kolla under his wing for mentoring. There‘s nothing sexual about their relationship, just a police being another police‘s⬇️

gradcat (Cont.) “rabbi,” as American cops refer to that kind of relationship. The Marx Sisters is the first in the series; there are 12 total. Barry Maitland stopped writing this series in 2013 after publishing Raven‘s Eye, then started a trilogy set in Australia (I found it less interesting, btw). But I just found that a new Brock & Kolla mystery is set to be available in early January...YAY! I‘m so happy 😁😁😁 6y
