Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Alex Wexford - A Detective Story Vol. 3 plunges readers into two gripping World-War II-era thrillers featuring MI5 investigator Alec Wexford.In Operation Lazarus (1940), London reels under the Blitz-yet some of the most devastating fires aren't the work of the Luftwaffe. A rogue British colonel exploits the chaos to stage false-flag bombings that could shatter the nation's morale. Wexford and brilliant pathologist Dr Eleanor Graves race through black-out streets, bombed-out docks, and secret warehouses to stop an inferno that threatens the King's own train.The Night Bureau (1941) finds Wexford pulled into the first murmurings of the Cold War: a Soviet cipher officer vanishes along with top-secret British radar data. Between Stalin's spies and Whitehall's silence, Wexford must untangle a deadly web of treason before the balance of the war shifts.Packed with atmosphere-fog-choked river wharves, barrage balloons over the Thames, covert meetings in the Underground-this volume delivers classic cloak-and-dagger suspense for fans of historical espionage and detective fiction.
