In 1941, after a telephone tip off to the Assistant Commissioner of
the Metropolitan police the body of a young woman, Sarah Davis is
discovered during the hours of the Blackout and at the height of a
bombing raid by two Scotland Yard Detectives. The murder victim as
reported to the Yard was found on the floor of the master bedroom
in a rather rundown South London terraced house in a side street
off the Kennington Road. This was a swift, clinical killing, and a
single bullet wound to the forehead had killed Sarah Davis
instantly. With the nightly Blackout crime was easy to conceal, the
house was already damaged by a bomb blast; a direct hit would have
obliterated any chance of finding forensic evidence. If they hadn't
reached the body, the auxiliary services would simply have pulled
Sarah's mutilated body out of the rubble without a second thought,
and assumed she died as a result of the bombing. As Chief Inspector
Luke Garvan knelt over the body illuminated by the weirdly intense
bluish light of the incendry bombs exploding along Monkton Drive,
he felt that this was no ordinary murder; it had all the hallmarks
of a professional killing. On returning to the crime scene the
following day his suspicions were confirmed when he found the
leading Home Office Pathologist Sam Menzies examining the body
rather the local Police Surgeon. Back at Scotland Yard during a
meeting with the Assistant Commissioner he is introduced to Spencer
Hall who claims to be from The Home Office, he is in fact like
Sarah Davis a member of MI5's shadowy Twenty Committee. In normal
circumstances Special Branch would have taken the lead on an
investigation involving the security services, but for some reason
MI5 demanded that Garvan head up the inquiry. Garvan's initial
instinct that the murder had all the hallmarks of a professional
killing are confirmed when Spencer Hall explains that MI5 believe
Sarah was killed by one of their double-agents on the direct order
of German Intelligence, and that as a consequence the Twenty
Committee is on the brink of disaster. Their work is vital for the
future conduct of the War; and one rogue agent could bring the
entire system crashing down like a pack of cards. The price and the
stakes are high; the Investigation becomes a race against time to
track down the killer of Sarah Davis before it's too late, and
Britain's counter-espionage battle against the Abwehr is lost, and
the result, could quite literally affect the final outcome of the
War against Nazi Germany
