Publisher Description

Danny McRae has set up as a private investigator - what else is a demobbed SOE agent to do now that the war is over? Elegant, upper-class Kate Graveney has made a shocking admission, and Danny needs to get her off the hook. It's a struggle. The head injury that gouged his memory of an entire mission to France also gives him blackouts. Plus, the news of a brutal killer stalking London's red light district is making him uneasy, and a visit from an old adversary awakens dark misgivings.

As the odds stack up, Danny finds himself running for his life across bomb-ravaged London. And the only escape is through that gap in his memory.

"Another great book from Gordon Ferris. About a Glasgow chap that becomes a PI in London after the war. He has bits of his own past missing which he is trying to piece together. He gets a case which leads him to all kinds of conclusions and some closure on certain areas of his life."

    " I enjoyed this book. It was quite a short book and was quite fast paced. The story itself wasn't, in my opinion, the best.I did however, like the way Gordon Ferris writes it. I had read The Hanging Shed and enjoyed that too. "

    " An interesting and enjoyable murder mystery set in just-post-war London. The key character is just starting out as a private eye whilst still recovering from his war injuries. "

    " what a shame. this turned out to be a cliche ridden mess of a book; down to the comely and mysterious client and a villain who "twists his mustache." i was relieved when the inevitable reference to Raymond Chandler came. "

    " Good period detail (post WW32) creates atmosphere in a classic detective plot. Apart from the narrator, the characters are rather stereotyped by that sometimes works as Ferris deliberately goes for a Chandleresque style that verges on pastiche. "

    " Set in immediate post war Britain, this was a good tale. Some dialogue seemed too modern for the period, but aside from that a good flow to the story. I felt the strange relationship between Tony, Liza and Kate was a bit over the top for the plot, but I'd still give it a go! "

    " Interesting setting just after WWII. Bit Raymond Chandlerish. Writing moves about in style, not consistent. But OK. "

    " A hard-boiled-ish historical mystery set in post-war London. I liked the mystery and the main character, though one Chinese side character's patois was pretty eye-rolling. "

    " I read the Kindle version which at £1 was great value. I love Ferris's writing and I love the landscape and characters he creates. No spoilers, but there was one aspect of this book that simply didn't work for me and that's why it only gets 3***. "
