October, 1942. Thousands of American GIs are stationed across eastern England building airfields to bomb Nazi Germany and Cambridge's dance halls and pubs are a hot spot for Yanks on leave. Detective Inspector Eden Brooke is called to the aerodrome east of the city when the remains of an airman, identified by his dog tag, are uncovered by workers extending the runway. However, this is no recent burial.
A fresh murder means that a black US serviceman faces the hangman's noose, but Brooke sees through the clouds of tension and prejudice and believes he sees an innocent man.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Allison & BusbyISBN-13:9780749032647ISBN-10:749032642UPC:9780749032647Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Crime, Historical, Mystery & DetectiveBook Topic:20th Century, HistoricalProduct ID:SCNR9P135M
