The first two Blitz Detective stories by Mike Hollow were published this week.
The Blitz Detective and The Canning Town Murders will take you straight in to the heart of London's Blitz and the head of Inspector John Jago.
Intricately plotted and endlessly clever, we couldn't recommend this wartime crime series enough.
