Description: December 1940. New Year's Eve draws closer but crowds will not be gathering on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate. After a quiet Christmas the area has suffered London's most devastating air raid since the start of the Blitz and waves of incendiary bombs have burnt the heart of British book publishing to the ground. Detective Inspector John Jago finds a desolate woman sitting among the ruins of her family business and must break the news - her husband's been found shot dead at their home in Soho. An antiquarian bookseller he'd just acquired a mysterious volume which is priceless - and missing. Did someone covet it enough to kill for it? Obsessive collectors and unscrupulous dealers haunt Jago's descent into Soho's underworld where he finds criminals are branching out in the shadows of the blackout. Allison & Busby has produced many successful crime series set in World War II by authors such as Jacqueline Winspear and Jim Kelly. The Blitz Detective is set during World War II when German bombs rained down nightly on London. This instalment set in the shady streets of Soho provides perfect opportunities for the city's criminal fraternity. With vivid period detail of wartime London DI Jago is an engaging and memorable lead character.
