  The Blitz, London 1944 - as the Luftwaffe make their last desperate assault on the city, Londoners take to the shelters once again and eagerly await the signal for D-Day. In the East End children lead police to a charred, dismembered corpse buried in a bombsite. The victim is German and it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder. For Russian emigre Detective-Sergeant Troy it is the start of a manhunt which will lead him into a world of stateless refugees, military intelligence and corruption in high places. A manhunt in which Troy is both the hunter and the hunted.

  Set during the Blitz of World War II, this novel wonderfully captures the atmosphere of wartime London (Robert Harris, author of Fatherland). A police detective investigates a severed arm found at a bombsite and learns that someone is dismembering German refugee scientists whom MI5 has imported to crack the Nazi rocketry program.
