London, 1940. Bombs fall. Chaos reigns. And murder doesn’t stop for war.
At just 22, Detective Suzie Mountford is thrust into CID—not because she’s earned it, but because all the men are off fighting. Her superiors doubt her. The newspapers mock her. But Suzie has something they don’t—she refuses to fail.
With the Blitz raging overhead, criminals use the blackout to their advantage, and the notorious Balvak Twins rule the underworld with an iron grip. Suzie must prove herself fast, outwitting killers, gangsters, and the men who don’t believe she belongs in the force.
This box set includes all five gripping historical mysteries from master storyteller John Gardner. If you love fast-paced, atmospheric crime fiction, it’s time to meet Detective Suzie Mountford.
