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 emigre 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.
