It’s the best damn World War II thriller set outside Lodom that you’ll read this year. Guaranteed.It features as strong Northern woman, Woman Police Sergeant Cathy Marsden, as the main character.You’ll walk those streets and feel the fear as the air raid sirens sound.You’ll be there with Cathy as she hunts an escaped German spy.It’s set in Leeds.

Bonus: I want to sell plenty of copies of this, partly because it’s very good, but also because it means my publisher will let me continue the series. The second comes out next year, but I want a third and a fourth, so…please?

Buy it from an independent bookshop if you can, but the behemoth is going to be easier for some people. The link is here. I know money’s tight for so many people – ask your local library to get it for you.

Thank you.
