Spy and code-breaker extraordinaire Maggie Hope returns
to war-weary London, where she is thrust into the dangerous
hunt for a monster, as the New York Times bestselling
mystery series for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles
Todd, and Anne Perry continues.
England, 1942.
The Nazis' relentless Blitz may have paused, but London's
nightly blackouts continue. Now, under the cover of
darkness, a madman is brutally killing and mutilating young
women in eerie and exact re-creations of Jack the Ripper's
crimes. What's more, he's targeting women who are
reporting for duty to be Winston Churchill's spies and
saboteurs abroad. The officers at MI-5 quickly realize they
need the help of special agent Maggie Hope to find the
killer dubbed "the Blackout Beast." A trap is set. But
once the murderer has his sights on Maggie, not even
Buckingham Palace can protect the resourceful spy from her fate.
