Allison & Busby

The Bloomsbury Murder - Mike Hollow

January 1941. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to a house in London''s Bloomsbury, he finds the body of a woman who''s been attacked and left to die, her only crime seemingly being her kindness to strangers. She''s taken victims of the Blitz and the war that''s torn Europe apart and given them refuge in her home, but now she''s a victim too - of murder.As Jago tries to find out who killed her and why, he uncovers a tangle of damaged hearts and minds. There may have been envy, resentment, even outright hostility. But who would want to strike down an angel of mercy in her own home, and what is the deadly secret that has followed her halfway across the world? Allison & Busby has produced many successful crime series set in World War II, by authors such as Jacqueline Winspear and Jim Kelly. The Blitz Detective is set during World War II, when German bombs rained down nightly on London. This instalment set in Bloomsbury provides perfect opportunities for the city''s criminal fraternity. With vivid period detail of wartime London, DI Jago is an engaging and memorable lead character.
