NOTES

Sergeant Cathy Marsden investigates the death of a local gangster in WWII Leeds. Leeds, 1944. Cathy Marsden's happiness at her boyfriend Tom's brief leave from the army and marriage proposal is short-lived as she embarks on a new case in the Special Investigation Branch. Eric Carr, a local gangster, is dead after crashing his car on the outskirts of Leeds. Not only that, but an alarming discovery is made in the boot: weapons, including guns, stolen from a US military base, to be sold on the black market. Was the crash simply an accident, or something more sinister? One thing's for sure - Eric's death has set a chain of murder and gangland chaos in motion. As the number of people disappearing increases, and men start dying, Cathy must work out who is pulling the strings, and why. This fast-paced and twisty World War II thriller is perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Rhys Bowen and Kelly Rimmer
