Synopsis

Pentonville Prison. Wally Hubbard is serving a long sentence for arson. But after befriending and tricking one of the officers, Hubbard makes an audacious escape. Inspector Marmion, the detective who arrested Hubbard, is warned to watch his back, but it seems that Hubbard has another target in his murderous sights. However, the investigation is mired in confusion, the identities of killer and victim become increasingly ambiguous. An inmate at an internment camp who might be a spy sending intelligence to the Germans complicates matters further, and the multiplying manhunts, as well as Marmion's concern for his injured and withdrawn son Paul, leave the detective desperate and perhaps with too many threads to untangle.

Media Reviews
From one of the masters of historical novels comes The Enemy Within, the beautifully written, latest installment in the Home Front Detective series. --SirReadaLot.org
In this sixth in the Home Front Detective series, Marston paints involving scenes in civilian life coping during the Great War. Crime goes on, despite the wholesale carnage in Europe, and the portrayal of policing in the period is almost refreshing. The plotline is very well paced, as expected from a prolific author. The characters are three-dimensional and believable and behave in perfectly understandable ways. --Historical Novels Review
