Two years later tensions are rising and ''enemy aliens'' are rounded up in London for internment. In the midst of the chaos London''s most prominent rabbis are being picked off one by one and Troy must race to stop the killer.

Industry Reviews

One of the joys of reviewing crime fiction is that now and then one comes across . . . an author whose writing sets pulses racing and the jaded responses tingling. . . I entreat you, dear reader, to search out John Lawton and cherish him to your bosom, for he is truly an original. * Irish Times *
Smart and gracefully written . . . It has been Lawton's achievement to capture, in first-rate popular fiction, the courage and drama -- and the widespread tomorrow-we-may-die exuberance -- of that terrible and thrilling moment in twentieth-century history. * Washington Post *
