Pub. Date :Jan. 16, 2025

Harri Schroeder is a police detective in Hamburg in 1952. Despite his anti Nazi proclivities, he survived World War II, although his wife and daughter did not. He is sent on assignment to London. Dexie is a widowed police constable in London. She yearns to do more than just walk the beat and be the one to bring tea to her fellow male officers. 

When He arrives in London, Harri learns that his assignment is to help identify a Nazi war criminal whom he knew as a young police recruit in Hamburg. After meeting Dexie, Harri is impressed by her and requests her as his teammate. They embark on a very dangerous cat and mouse chase made more difficult by the Great London Smog of 1952.

I really enjoy Mandy Robotham’s books and have read a number of them. This adds to her exceptional body of work. Well written, atmospheric, suspenseful, with fully developed characters, this was a five star read for me….another one I couldn’t put down.

Robotham’s books are always historically accurate and I enjoyed learning more of post World War II days in London, the Cold War, and the Great Smog.  

I recommend this for fans of historical fiction or anyone who just likes a good story with fascinating characters.
