1944: Twenty years after WPC Lottie Armstrong was dismissed from Leeds police for insubordination, she's back, now a member of the Women's Auxiliary Police Corps and driving for her old boss. Detective Chief Superintendent McMillan is now head of CID, trying to keep order with a depleted force as crime keeps growing. But when the body of a young woman is found among the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, things take a darker turn. The next night the corpse of another young woman is found. Both are in the service. Both have been shot by an American pistol. But every answer Lottie and McMillan breed more questions. As the Second World War rages around them, can they stop a blackout killer with a taste for murder?
