The Blitz Detective (Blitz Detective 1)
Mike Hollow

Saturday 7th September, 1940
The sun is shining, and in the midst of the good weather Londoners could be mistaken for forgetting their country was at war until the familiar wail of the air-raid sirens heralds an enemy attack. The Blitz has started, and normal life has abruptly ended but crime has not. That night a man's body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham.

​When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene, he recognises the victim: local Justice of the Peace, Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious, but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence. War or no war, murder is still murder, and it is Jago's job to find the truth.

​Praise

"The book is well-plotted. I liked the setting and the protagonist, but the thing I liked the most about this story is the detailed description of life in London back then. With mesmerising narration and wonderful character development, this book is a sweet pick. And after reading The Four Symbols I was looking for more WW2 stuff and this surely satisfied me. I would gladly recommend this book."
