Description
Christmas, 1940, brings a temporary truce between the German and Allied forces, a welcome respite from the relentless air raids over London. Down Street underground station, in the heart of Mayfair, is now a secret retreat for Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his cabinet. However, the tranquility is short-lived, as the body of a woman is found, stabbed in the heart. Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant Lampson are called to investigate, but whispers of treason and suspicion of insidious Russian plots muddy the waters of the case. Personal resentments also strike far too close to home, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. As the body count steadily rises, everything is on the line for Coburg and Lampson. A gripping wartime mystery, Murder at Down Street Station is a tense and suspenseful tale of intrigue and deception.
