December, 1940. The season of goodwill is overshadowed by the death and destruction of the Blitz. In London's Covent Garden, where the glamour of theatreland rubs shoulders with the capital's busiest fruit and vegetable market, the war has closed the theatres and ruined the market trade. When a daylight air raid hits the Prince Albert Theatre on Drury Lane, rescuers find a man dying in the wreckage. But it wasn't the bomb that caused his fatal injuries - he's been stabbed, and with his dying breath he whispers what sounds like a fragmented confession ... As Detective Inspector John Jago begins to investigate, there's an underlying question he must grapple with: was the murdered man a killer himself?

Jago is on the trail of a killer, pursuing them across Bloomsbury's leafy squares and into the distinguished environs of University College London, uncovering a tangle of damaged hearts and minds as he goes.

Murha keskellä Lontoon pommituksia.

Mike Hollow’n West Hamin murha aloittaa historiallisen Blitz-dekkarisarjan, jossa rikoskomisario John Jago tutkii rikoksia Lontoon synkillä kaduilla, sodan langettaessa varjonsa kaiken ylle.

Aurinkoisena syyskuun päivänä vuonna 1940 lontoolaiset näyttävät heittäneen mielestään sodan – kunnes ilmatorjuntahälytys ujeltaa merkkinä vihollisen hyökkäyksestä. Salamasota alkaa ja normaali elämä päättyy siihen. Mutta rikokset eivät.

Samana yönä West Hamin pikkukaduilta löydetään miehen ruumis. Kun rikoskomisario John Jago kutsutaan paikalle, hän tunnistaa uhrin olevan paikallinen rauhantuomari Charles Villiers. Kuolema vaikuttaa epäilyttävältä, mutta saksalaisten pommi tuhoaa kaikki todisteet. Sota tai ei, murha on silti murha, ja Jagon tehtävänä on selvittää totuus.

Lontoossa asuva Mike Hollow (s. 1953) on työskennellyt mm. toimittajana, kääntäjänä ja copywriterina. Hän rakastaa viihdyttävien tarinoiden luomista ja on nykyään täysipäiväinen kirjailija. West Hamin murha on ensimmäinen häneltä suomennettu teos ja se aloittaa sota-ajan Lontooseen sijoittuvan historiallisen Blitz-dekkarisarjan.

Murha tehtaan varjossa.

Mike Hollow’n toisessa Blitz-dekkarissa Canning Townin murha etsitään nuoren naisen kuristajaa.

Öiset pommitukset kurittavat Lontoota ja huhut vihollisen agenteista tuntuvat kiirivän kaikkialla. Koskaan ei voi olla varma, keneen voi luottaa. Pommituksen jälkeen Canning Townin pelastustyöntekijät ryhtyvät raivaamaan vaurioituneita katuja. He löytävät ruumiin, jonka ei pitäisi olla siellä.

Ruumiin tarkempi tutkinta paljastaa kuristamiskuoleman, ja rikoskomisario John Jago kutsutaan tutkimaan asiaa. Uhri on nimeltään Mary Watkins, ja hän on työskennellyt paikallisessa tehtaassa, joka valmistaa muun muassa transistoreja hallituksen salaisia tehtäviä varten. Mutta juuri kukaan ei tunnu välittävän naisen kuolemasta, ei edes hänen perheensä. Kun Jago kaivautuu syvemmälle, alkaa paljastua petoksen, kavalluksen ja syrjähyppyjen sotkuinen vyyhti…

Canning Townin murha jatkaa historiallista Blitz-dekkarisarjaa, jossa rikoskomisario John Jago tutkii rikoksia Lontoon synkillä kaduilla sodan langettaessa varjonsa kaiken ylle.
