The Cambridge Siren: The thrilling wartime mystery (Nighthawk)($14.95Value)

Description

Autumn 1941. As the war continues and Cambridge endures nightly air raids, its bomb shelters are packed with those driven by the sound of the siren. At dawn, a young man is found dead in a shadowy corner, apparently a suicide, yet Detective Inspector Eden Brooke suspects otherwise: the stranger bears a tropical tan and Brooke's office number on his hand. With police stretched thin over a case of sabotage at a factory making periscopes, fear grips the city. Brooke follows a dark trail to the university, where a laboratory conceals a brutal secret and the key to a wartime killer's deadly game. Jim Kelly is the son of a Scotland Yard detective. He went to university in Sheffield, later training as a journalist and worked on the Bedfordshire Times, Yorkshire Evening Press and the Financial Times . His first book, The Water Clock , was shortlisted for the John Creasey Award and he has since won a CWA Dagger in the Library and the New Angle Prize for Literature. He lives in Ely, Cambridgeshire.
