About this listen
December 1940. New Year's Eve draws closer, but crowds will not be gathering on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate. After a quiet Christmas, the area has suffered London's most devastating air raid since the start of the Blitz and waves of incendiary bombs have burnt the heart of British book publishing to the ground.
Detective Inspector John Jago finds a desolate woman sitting among the ruins of her family business and must break the news – her husband's been found shot dead at their home in Soho. An antiquarian bookseller, he'd just acquired a mysterious volume which is priceless – and missing. Did someone covet it enough to kill for it?
Obsessive collectors and unscrupulous dealers haunt Jago's descent into Soho's underworld, where he finds criminals are branching out in the shadows of the blackout.

London History WW2 brought to Life!
Was delighted to read the next installment of this series and enjoyed as the others in series. The two main characters Jago and Cradock warmly familiar. The twists and turns as ever akin to a modern day Midsomer or Morse. I do hope there will be more from this brilliant Author. And can we hope that Inspector Jago will have a Happy Ever after with his American Beau Dorothy!!

Very little plot
I like the social history aspect of this series combined with a good plot both of which have been well balanced in previous books. Sadly there was too much emphasis and time spent on the background issues and just a small part was the actual plot. The latter content could have been dealt with in a few chapters. Quite disappointing. The last chapter whilst understandable was depressing and certainly did not leave me longing for the next book.
