Description

It’s February 1941, and a man lies gassed in the kitchen of his home in Notting Hill, London. The manner of his death indicates suicide, but further evidence points to murder. As Detective Inspector John Jago begins to investigate, he finds the victim had a chequered past. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, the son of a rag-and-bone man, he’d spent his life trying to climb the social ladder. By the time the war started he was travelling across Europe on business, living the high life on a generous expenses account. But might these other overseas trips be concealing more nefarious actions, and is there more to his amateur radio hobby than meets the eye? As Jago delves deeper, the question remains: was he a rogue, or a hero – or was he a traitor?
