About this listen

November 1940. Darkness descends, and another anxious night begins for those tasked with guarding the industrial heartland of London from enemy attack. As a policeman patrols the Royal Albert Dock, something catches his eye - a man is sprawled awkwardly across a nearby barge, a dagger lodged in his back. Detective Inspector John Jago of West Ham CID discovers the victim was a dock worker by day and a Home Guard volunteer by night - and there are things even his wife doesn't know about his past. As the investigation unfolds, Jago uncovers a widening circle of secrets ranging across family tensions, the last war and a far-flung corner of the British Empire.

Simon Mattocks brings these characters to life, I love his narration, I could be in the war time streets watching the story unfold. The author has certainly captured the essence of the time, in the Eastend. I hope there will be more stories in the future x

Love it.

I’ve given this 5 Stars and it deserves it -
Love the characters who walk you down the lanes of history in a very human way.
The story is sad, troubling and comforting but still manages to twist and turn. Definitely worth one of you credits!

Another great story in this series, with period details and social mores which aid the plot and add to interest without being obtrusive. Fantastic narrator with a very believable set of 'voices'.

Does anyone else in the World remember Constable Dixon knowing everyone on his beat ( this was before “manor”)?
Get that same, football results off the teleprinter, jellied veal for tea and Dixon before bed feeling ( this was before “vibes”).
Go on Mike Hollow, give Craddock something to get his baby teeth into!

Dixon of Dock Green?
