Description
October, 1940. Bombs are falling on Stratford when air-raid warden Sylvia Parks sees a house with a light shining like a beacon to the enemy aircraft overhead, violating the strict blackout regulations.
With no answer at the door, she manages to break in, only to discover the body of a young woman—and she's been strangled with a stocking.
For Detective Inspector John Jago, the scene brings back memories of the gruesome Soho Strangler, who murdered four women in the mid-1930s but has never been caught. Is there a connection?
As the investigation develops, it leads him into a web of family jealousies, violence, robbery, and the underworld of political terrorism.
The Stratford Murder by Mike Hollow is a captivating exploration of crime beneath the shadows of war, where personal vendettas intertwine with the greater chaos of conflict.
