'I felt like I could smell the smoke and was holding my breath. Pacy and full of action with unpredictable twists the pages were turning non-stop to keep up... A fabulous series with great characters where you feel you are right alongside them through out. Highly recommend' Reader review ????? London is under attack. Secrets and spies hide in the shadows. Who can you trust when every night could be your last? London, 1940: Farmer John Cook would rather avoid the city at the best of times. But as he watches Nazi bombers passing overhead in the moonlight, he knows he is exactly where he needs to be. A young woman has disappeared during an air raid and Cook links her to a network of spies. As his search continues, he realises more is at stake than he could have imagined... Occupied France: Lady Margaret is playing a dangerous game. To the German high-command she is a valuable prize. To the British, she has become the enemy, unless she can do the impossible: gain the trust of those at the heart of the Nazi war machine and betray their secrets. With the fate of Europe in their hands, will Cook and Margaret make the ultimate sacrifice to keep each other's secrets safe and save innocent lives? Everyone is gripped by The Blitz Secret: 'A tense and twisty ride to the final chapter... A definite book of the year' Reader review ????? 'I loved this book! Highlighting the darker side of wartime London and the Blitz, this story takes the reader through the Blackout, smelly, dirty air raid shelters, criminality, prostitution, gangs and murder... Excellent read- highly recommended!' Reader review ????? 'Another great read in the John Cook series. A fast-paced action book with lots of twists and turns' Reader review ????? 'The descriptions of life in the docklands during these early days of the Blitz bombing are very graphic and realistic. Ronson has clearly researched this in depth and you get a real insight into how people lived and survived this phase of the war...
