From Publishers Weekly Lawton's engrossing sixth entry but the first chronologically in his Inspector Troy thriller series (Black Out, etc.) chronicles the major events leading up to WWII--Germany's annexation of Austria, Chamberlain's peace efforts, Kristallnacht--while providing a disturbing picture of anti-Semitism and class frictions in England at the time. Frederick Troy investigates a series of slayings of London rabbis, but various subplots equally intrigue, notably one that unfolds in an internment camp for Germans, Jews and foreigners--including Troy's Austrian-born brother, Rod--rounded up after Britain's entry into the war.

Can't say enough about John Lawton Terrific book, John Lawton is a talented writer with a firm grasp of the history, loaded with detail and believable interesting characters, excellent plot.. Captivating Just Me This book is given five stars only because Amazon doesn't provide the ten it deserves. I'm talking this book up to everyone I see. It's well worth reading more than once. Also will be looking into the sources mentioned by the author in his end notes when I get my copy back from the person I just loaned it to.. "A stunner of a read" according to W. Salomon. I received a pre-publication copy of this book amongst six. Being in the US, I had never seen Lawton's work, so I picked it, and was immediately sucked into the time and place. Lawton's characters are human, well-developed and fascinating; his descriptions of setting and events at the time superb. Having a real affection for the UK, I was immediately drawn into the dialogs, at times with dictionary in hand. Be assured, I will read the rest - if I can find them here!
Amid great war, murder is what matters. The sixth installment in the series, Lawton’s new novel opens in 1938 with Europe on the brink of war. One of today’s top historical espionage writers, considered as good as Le Carré” (Chicago Tribune) and a master” (Rocky Mountain News), John Lawton adds another spellbinding thriller to his Inspector Troy series with Second Violin.

And as the bombs start falling on London, a murdered rabbi is found, then another, and another. In London, Frederick Troy, newly promoted to the prestigious murder squad at Scotland Yard, is put in charge of rounding up a list of German and Italian enemy aliens” that also includes Frederick’s brother, Rod, who
