Summary

Brighton, 1938. 

Charlie "Big Bad" Woolf thought it would be easy money, and there’s precious little of that for a private detective in a seaside town. It was just a trip up to London to hand over an envelope - a favor for his old partner, Alan O’Connor. But Woolf couldn’t resist taking a peek inside.

The pictures were unadulterated smut: a man and a girl in a hotel room. Blackmail, pure and simple - right up O’Connor’s street. Woolf was happy to be rid of them, handing them over to a masked man in a London park. When he gets back home, O’Connor’s waiting for him, which is a surprise. The bigger surprise is that he’s dead - a bullet through the eye. 

Woolf is the prime suspect, but when he discovers that the man in the photographs is a German diplomat and the blackmail is being run by MI5, things get more complicated. It seems obvious who killed O’Connor, but Woolf soon realizes that he’s the only one who cares. 

With war looming, the good of the country counts for more than the arrest of a murderer. If he’s to see the killer caught, Charlie Woolf must prove that the crime has little to do with the world of espionage.
