May, 1941. Amid the turmoil of the Blitz, the body of a St Paul's chorister is found in the cathedral crypt. Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson face a delicate investigation within London's most cherished landmark. The dead man was far from popular, and the cathedral's wartime staff - Night Watch volunteers, clergy - and visitors offer no shortage of suspects. When the inquiry uncovers ties to Bletchley Park's secret operations and a murky trade in art and rare books, the mystery deepens. And when the killer strikes again, Coburg must act swiftly to preserve both justice and the sanctity of St Paul's.
Jim Eldridge was born in central London towards the end of World War II, and survived attacks by V2 rockets on the King's Cross area where he lived. In 1971 he sold his first sitcom to the BBC and had his first book commissioned. Since then he has had more than one hundred books published, with sales of over three million copies. He lives in Kent with his wife.
