Synopsis
A Scotland Yard detective in war-weary London investigates a doctor&’s death in a thriller by the author of The Innocent Spy: &“An exceptional talent.&” —Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author of Lady in the Lake Summer, 1944. After almost five years of conflict, London&’s inhabitants are exhausted. DI Ted Stratton is no exception, but he cannot help being drawn in by his latest case. Called to investigate when a doctor is found dead in Fitzrovia&’s Middlesex Hospital, Stratton soon realizes that someone involved is not who they appear to be. Someone has discarded their own identity, and that someone is on a killing spree. Meanwhile Jenny, Ted&’s wife, who&’s working at the local recovery center, is also running on fumes. When a bombed-out woman shows up, declaring that the man claiming to be her husband is an imposter, Jenny blames the woman&’s confusion on shock. The reality, however, is much stranger and far more dangerous . . . Ultimately, for both Stratton and Jenny there may be only one thing they can really trust: their fear. And for one of them, that fear may prove to be justified, in this gripping crime thriller by a winner of the Ellis Peters Award for Best Historical Mystery. &“All the strands are meticulously handled.&” —Booklist
