The Blitz has started, and normal life has abruptly ended - but crime has not. That night a man's body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene, he recognises the victim: local Justice of the Peace, Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious, but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence. War or no war, murder is still murder, and it's Jago's job to find the truth.

Great read
Really enjoyed this book, read the Stratford Murders first but after reading wanted to find this book as it's the first of the series. I love the nostalgia of the period and how you get immersed in it. Good stories exciting and incitful as really going back to basic detecting. Read all except one but will get that. If you like Foyles War you'll love these books.
