Publisher Description
1944. A new threat is putting the nation on edge. The V-weapons. Soon after the D-Day landings, Hitler launches the V-1 flying bomb, bringing death and destruction to England. One of the targets is a Camberwell convent. The Reserve Squad, led by colleagues and lovers Tommy Livermore and Suzie Mountford, investigate the suspicious nature of the deaths. Feeling strongly connected to the victims at Camberwell Convent, because she was herself taught by nuns at St Helen’s school, Suzie is determined to find out the truth. But the team is split when the murder of housewife Doris Butler leads to questions about her marriage and the character of those on the force. Doris married at seventeen and continued to see other men while her husband was away at war... He was killed four years later by a D2 bomb. Nothing conclusive comes to light and the force are at a loss as to who was responsible for Doris’ death. With politics, war and secrets clouding the investigations, Tommy and Suzie must uncover the truth before someone else gets hurt. Suzie’s brother, James, is a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines and has returned home after being injured during a landing at Normandy. A threat is made to Winston Churchill’s life, and James Mountford is put in place to guard him. But has he recovered enough to protect the Prime Minister and the country? And where has this threat come from? Things aren’t what they first appeared to be and the plot thickens when the history, morals and political tendencies of the Lees-Duncan family in brought into question. Will Suzie be able to identify the enemy? No Human Enemy is a gripping WWII thriller from a master story-teller.
