In this action-packed crime thriller, British sleuth Patrick Dawlish learns that WWII can bleed violence where you least expect it . . .
Since the beginning of World War II, Patrick Dawlish has been in the service of British Intelligence but is still able to help out Scotland Yard in his usual unofficial capacity. This proves handy when Dawlish's fellow club member Robbie Graham reveals he has recently survived numerous attempts on his life.
Graham has just been transferred from Libya to London, which means that whoever wants him dead knows troop movements. After thwarting an attacker from pushing Graham into the Thames, Dawlish learns that his friend isn't the only person being threatened. In fact, numerous people from Graham's home in Dorset are living in fear. And when the threats escalate into actual murder, Dawlish must hunt down a killer bent on destroying the peace of the countryside with their private war . . .
