Soho during the blackouts of the Second World War. When a piercing scream rends the air and a bloodied knife is found, Detective Inspector MacCarthy is soon on the scene.

He must move through the dark, seedy Soho underworld - peopled by Italian gangsters, cross-dressing German spies and glamorous Austrian aristocrats - as he attempts to unravel the connection between the mysterious Madame Rohner and the theft of secret antiaircraft defence plans.

Well read and likeable story of murder and espionage for its age. Good characters and storyline. My only gripe is the ending it seemed to be unfinished. Overall enjoyable listen

the story is told with a meticulous sense of detail, but that doesn't cause the pace to drag.
there is also a sense that the author had a sense of the somewhat ridiculous nature of the story and enjoyed telling it.

meticulously and humourously written
