Written by 'a sublimely elegant historical novelist as addictive as
crack' - Daily Telegraph The first book in John Lawton's Inspector
Troy series, selected by Time magazine as one of 'Six Detective Series
to Savour' alongside Michael Connelly and Donna Leon. The Blitz,
London, 1944. As the Luftwaffe make their last desperate assault on
the city, Londoners take to the shelters once again and eagerly await
the signal for D-Day. In the East End children lead police to a
charred, dismembered corpse buried in a bombsite. The victim is German
and it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder. For Russian
emigré Detective-Sergeant Troy it is the start of a manhunt which
will lead him into a world of military intelligence and corruption in
high places; a manhunt in which Troy is both the hunter and the
hunted.
