Description

1940. London is under siege by German bombers - and its own prejudices and paranoias. Troy has been seconded to Special Branch to round up 'enemy' aliens. One of those aliens is his own brother. As the bombs fall, Troy asks for time off from Special Branch to return to his true calling - murder.

About the Author

John Lawton worked for Channel 4 for many years, and, among many others, produced Harold Pinter s O Superman , the least-watched most-argued-over programme of the 90s. He has written seven novels in his Troy series, two Joe Wilderness novels, the standalone Sweet Sunday, a couple of short stories and the occasional essay. He writes very slowly and almost entirely on the hoof in the USA or Italy, but professes to be a resident of a tiny village in the Derbyshire Peak District. He admires the work of Barbara Gowdy, TC Boyle, Oliver Bleeck, Franz Schubert and Clara Schumann - and is passionate about the playing of Maria Joao Pires. He has no known hobbies, belongs to no organisations and hates being photographed.
