Blitz Secrets
About
Blazing over bombed-out London, a forgotten wartime code awakens and starts making choices.
When a cryptic murder links an RAF officer, a tenacious nurse, and a haunted detective, their hunt for vanished genius Lena Cassel pulls them through BBC switchboards, Whitehall’s locked drawers, shelter crypts, and the city’s darkest tunnels.
Blitz Secrets fuses murder mystery and espionage thriller with meticulous WWII detail, asking one razor edged question: if you could erase history to save the future, would you?
From “people first” ward ledgers to biscuit-tin devices that outwit propaganda, this is a propulsive, deeply human tale of memory, identity, and a city that insists on witnesses.
Turn the first page, London’s heartbeat will do the rest.
Praise for this book
Atmospheric and unexpectedly moving. Blitz Secrets marries espionage and murder mystery with a human core, biscuit tins, ledgers, and all. The world feels lived in. A touch dense in places, but the momentum and heart more than repay. A pretty gripping and very thoughtful read.
