Book description
In the dark days of the Blitz, crime goes undercover... Undertaker
Francis Hancock has seen the worst that humanity can do to itself. Why
then does the murder of a young gypsy girl in Epping Forest move him so
much? Travellers, gypsies, the homeless, deserters and German spies
inhabit this stretch of open ground that was once her home. Francis
knows it's not wise to delve into this human melting pot, but he is
drawn to the exotic customs of the gypsies, their music and magic. But
as he investigates the girl's murder further, the death toll rises and
Francis uncovers a much bigger conspiracy, at the heart of which lies
something even Adolf Hitler is prepared to kill for... Trained as an
actress, Barbara Nadel used to work in mental health services. Born in
the East End of London, she now writes full time and has been a visitor
to Turkey for over twenty years. She received the Crime Writers'
Association Silver Dagger for her novel DEADLY WEB.
