Synopsis:
The year is 1942 and the B17 Flying Fortresses have just lifted into the air, bound for Nazi-occupied Europe. But the small town of Long Taddmarten has more to worry about than Hitler, Nazis, or bombs.
Someone has ruthlessly slaughtered barrister Max Ascoli, his wife, and eight-year-old son by blasting their faces off with a shotgun. For WDS Suzie Mountford, along with her boss and lover DCS the Hon. Tommy Livermore, the death of Ascoli brings back best-forgotten memories.
Two years earlier, murderous lunatic Golly Goldfinch nearly killed Suzie, and though Golly is locked away now, Ascoli was responsible for his reprieve from hanging. Now, the deeper they dig, the more horrors and history Suzie and Tommy uncover.
Times may be dark for Europe, but the evil Suzie must face will be no less chilling.
This historical thriller, 'Angels at the Ritz’ is the third gripping WWII adventure of WDS Suzie Mountford.

(1)
John Gardner, 'Troubled Midnight'
Troubled Midnight
1943. Preparations for the greatest invasion in history, the assault on Hitler’s Fortress-Europe, are underway in the United Kingdom.
With fresh bloodshed on the horizon, the coming holidays seem even more poignant. But with just ten days to go the seasonal mood is shattered in the quiet market town of Wantage, Berkshire. Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Livermore and DS Suzie Mountford, Tommy’s right-hand woman and secret lover, are called to investigate the discovery of two tortured and beaten bodies.
When the bodies are identified as Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Weaving, a commanding officer stationed at a nearby airfield and Emily Bascombe, wife of the town’s hero, Tommy and Suzie are joined by Curry Shepherd, a representative of the Intelligence Services.
It's possible that a Nazi agent has interrogated Colonel Weaving whilst he was in possession of invasion plan secrets.
Surprising, dark and imaginative--a tense and tough suspense thriller from one of Britain’s best genre authors--‘Troubled Midnight’ makes for compelling reading.
John Gardner is the author of 14 of the James Bond franchise novels.

Nicholas Luard, 'The Robespierre Serial' (1975)
The Robespierre Serial
Carswell is a British Intelligence agent with a tarnished reputation, kept out of the way in Madrid for the past twelve years.
Suddenly he’s thrown into action, tasked with shadowing a hired killer in what Carswell is told is a crucial assassination plot — only, undisclosed to him, the target is being protected by the CIA and the British only want him located, not killed. After a bizarre and gruesome series of events in which he is cut off completely from contact with London, Carswell believes it is his sole duty to carry out the hit. Sought by the Spanish police, hunted by the combined fury of the CIA and British Intelligence, and hampered by the presence of a young French prostitute, he will stop at nothing to carry out his assignment. But every step he takes is sealing his own fate and compromising his country...
The Robespierre Serial is a taut and authentic espionage thriller, full of grim violence and shattering intrigue.
‘Superior man-hunt thriller’ THE SUNDAY TIMES
‘Tense ... excellent’ THE GUARDIAN
