First published as Direct Hit Saturday 7th September,1940. The sun is shining,and in the midst of the good weather Londoners could be mistaken for forgetting their country was at war - until the familiar wail of the air-raid sirens heralds an enemy attack. The Blitz has started,and normal life has abruptly ended - but crime has not.That night a man's body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene,he recognises the victim: local Justice of the Peace,Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious,but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence. War or no war,murder is still murder,and it's Jago's job to find the truth.
