The Pimlico Murder

Armistice Day, 1940. The nation remembers the Great War while a new and harrowing conflict rumbles on, and Detective Inspector John Jago of the Metropolitan Police must set aside his own painful memories to investigate a suspicious death in Pimlico, south-west London. A young man, Terry Watson, has been found in an Anderson shelter, battered about the head and with two white poppies in his pocket.

As the investigation delves into Watson’s background, Jago and his assistant DC Cradock find themselves knee-deep in Pimlico’s shady underworld and connections with Mosley’s fascist party. It will take all their skills to discover the truth behind the young man’s brutal death.
