Description

Armistice Day 1940.  A time that stirs painful memories for The Blitz Detective John Jago given his service during the Great War.  But it needs to be business as usual when he arrives at West Ham police station, and promptly finds himself despatched to Pimlico to investigate a suspicious death.  A young man, Terry Watson, has been found in a back-yard Anderson shelter, battered about the head, and with two white poppies in his pocket.

As their investigation delves into Watson’s background to try and establish the killer’s motive, Jago and his assistant DC Craddock find themselves knee-deep in Pimlico’s shady underworld, and connections with Mosley’s BUF party … it will take all their skills to uncover the truth behind the pacifist’s brutal death.
