A 1970's police procedural with Insp. Sloan and Detective Constrable Crosby. A body is found in a building site left over from a 1941 bombing site. A short book which gives an interesting insight in what it felt to be in England during the bombing raids. Ms. Aird describes much with few words.

Typical 'Sloan' mystery...good plot, good characters! Catherine Aird is a "must" for all readers of this genre.
Dangerous moonlight illuminated the English skies the night a German bomb razed the houses in Lamb Lane, Berebury. Then three decades quietly passed before a careless workman's pickaxe struck an old skeleton buried under the wreckage... and exhumed a new case of murder for Detective Inspector CD. Sloan. Time had blacked out the clues. All that remained were a body... an unborn baby. . . and a bullet. Could the Inspector's uncanny investigative instincts now unearth a killer? Or would this delayed action affair explode and send another victim to moulder in the grave?
