Disrespect, disdain - and dead bodies! It's all in a day's work for
WPC Billie Harkness, a pioneering female police officer protecting
the home front in this gripping WWII British historical mystery. "A
fresh and different take on WWII stories with an appealing young
heroine" New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen on Death in a
Blackout 1940. It's been a month since rector's daughter Billie
Harkness left her rural village to make a fresh start in the
northern city of Hull. Now she has a new home and an exciting new
job as one of only two female police constables in the whole city.
But Hull still feels like a foreign country, and some people are
less than impressed by the idea of a woman doing a 'man's job'.
Facing disrespect from her colleagues and suspicion from the
public, Billie throws herself into her work. The tasks she's
assigned might be menial, but she's determined to do her bit for
the war effort. The chance to prove her worth comes during a search
for a missing air raid shelter inspector, when Billie makes a
shocking discovery: his dead body, in a shelter that's been
stripped of all its valuables. The officers summoned to investigate
the scene believe it's an open and shut case, but Billie's not so
sure. Asking questions means making enemies though - and little
does she know that vile rumors about her are spreading, with the
power to erase everything she's tried so hard to achieve . . .
Murder on the Home Front is the second stunning mystery in the new
WPC Billie Harkness series. It's a great choice for readers of
Jacqueline Winspear, Rhys Bowen and Susan Elia MacNeal.
