2 posts | 2 read
Tom Harper must catch a traitor intent on disrupting the war effort and bringing terror to the streets of Leeds in this page-turning mystery. Leeds. December, 1916. Deputy Chief Constable Tom Harper is called out in the middle of the night when a huge explosion rips through a munitions factory supplying war materials, leaving death and destruction in its wake. A month later, matches and paper to start a fire are found in an army clothing depot. It's a chilling discovery: there's a saboteur running loose on the streets of Leeds. As so many give their lives in the trenches, Harper and his men are working harder than ever - and their investigation takes a dark twist with two shootings, at the local steelworks and a hospital. With his back against the wall and the war effort at stake, Harper can't afford to fail. But can he catch the traitor intent on bringing terror to Leeds?

Unusual for a Chris Nickson book, it took me a couple of goes before I finally got into some serious reading. Set during the 1st World War the main essence of the story was the hunt for a man who was indiscriminately killing people after his experiences in the trenches. The background story is Harper's wife's war with dementia. It was saddening and gives an insight and understanding into the condition destroying the person and their loved ones.
