Description
Britain’s wartime alliances hinge on the outcome of Kalisz’s next case…
Christmas Day 1943, Arisaig, Scotland. The body of beautiful, well-connected Polish SOE agent Krystina Kowolska is found in the gardens of the country house where she’s been preparing for a vital mission to France. The question is, was she already dead when she was hanged?
Two days later, resistance double agent, Investigator Jan Kalisz of the Warsaw Kripo is flown to Britain where Winston Churchill himself tasks him with finding Krystina’s killer, before the cracks in Britain’s alliance with Poland become fractures.
Yet Arisaig is a place of secrets where everyone is a trained killer, and Kalisz discovers that Krystina had her demons – and her enemies. Was she the hero her record suggests or the traitor the whispers hint at?
The gripping third instalment in the Warsaw Quartet series.
Advance Praise
Praise for Blood Roses, book one of the Warsaw Quartet
‘A compelling, evocative story of evil stalking amidst the chaos of war’ Giles Kristian
'A dark, twisting thriller ... Jan Kalisz, Douglas Jackson's police officer hero, is the natural heir to the late Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther' Andrew Taylor
‘A remarkable crime debut … What raises the novel to another level is in the atmospheric evocation of a city in the process of being systematically obliterated by the Germans and brought to life again by Jackson’s pen … Gripping stuff, a series that could develop into something impressive and a goldmine for Philip Kerr Bernie Gunther fans’ Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
‘The writing is scalpel-sharp, the unrelenting savagery of the Nazi occupation vividly painted… With this book, Jackson will rightfully be regarded as one of the UK’s finest crime writers’ Ben Kane
‘A taut, tense thriller… Gutsy and gripping, this is perfect for fans of Chris Lloyd and Robert Harris’ D. V. Bishop
'Jackson has written an utterly compelling novel ... A remarkable piece of work, a fine piece of craftsmanship' Scotsman
