About this listen

May 1915. As zeppelin bombs fall on London and with the sinking of the Lusitania, anti-German hysteria reaches fever pitch and attacks on German immigrants surge. Not even the West End of London is immune. Jacob Stein's bespoke tailoring business comes under brutal attack, leaving his safe ransacked, his daughter, Ruth, raped and Jacob dead.

Inspector Harvey Marmion is detailed to the case and faces an uphill struggle to track down the perpetrators, even up to the chaos of the Front Line. But was the murder as opportunistic as it first appears, or did someone with a deadly grudge plan the attack?

A story that kept me engrossed from start to finish. I laughed when the rapist, who was on remand in Wandsworth prison, escaped as there had been an escape of a remand prisoner at that prison in recent weeks.

A good story

Apart from some bad language and the description of a serious sexual assault, a bit like what I imagine detective stories were like on the radio in the 1940’s/50’s - all hero, dashing cops and black blooded villains.
Reminded me of something you’d see on daytime tv - Father Brown maybe.
