'A page-turner of a thrill ride that will keep you guessing till the end. Highly recommended.'
Heidi Amsinck
'An excellent mid-century series.' Dominic Nolan
'This is a cracking story with two plucky heroines, deft writing, a keen eye for character and real heart.' Louise Mumford
Summer 1948
London swelters amid post-war reconstruction, while continued rationing and the black-market fuel the rising crime wave. The empires of gangland bosses grow and thrive, protected by corruption and bribery.
During a party in Clapham a student nurse from the South London Hospital for Women and Children dies in a fall from a balcony. Is it an unfortunate accident as the local police believe? Or something more sinister?
The nurse's friends ask a newly qualified female detective constable to investigate, a woman who is facing difficulties of her own. Before long all are drawn into the criminals' deadly games, as gangsters jostle for territory and power. With the solution almost within grasp, their lives are threatened and one of them faces a dreadful fate.
Can the others find her before it's too late?
And what is the truth about...
