An interesting World War II in London mystery that extends past the war. Just when you think you have it figured out, a surprise comes along. Some of the more well-read mystery enthusiasts might figure out some of the red herrings thrown in you path, but even some of those red herrings have their own surprises.

There were some aspects of the book that I didn't enjoy, but I may be reading more of this author in the future, after I finish the stacks of mysteries in my bedroom.

Book Blurb: "London 1944: The Blitz... As the Luftwaffe makes its last, desperate assults on the battered city, Londoners take to the underground shelters amid the blackout. Sergeant Troy starts with the clue of a neatly dismembered corpse leading himinto a world of stateless refugees, military intelligence, and corruption all the way to the top of Allied High Command. In the tradition of John Le Carre, Eric Ambler, Alan Furst, and Joseph Kanon."
