Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The second book in the Jethro series is better than the first. The plot is more sophisticated and the range of characters introduced in the first book become more fully developed in this welcome sequel. There is tremendous period detail on every page and fascinating insight on what it was like to be in London after the war. It certainly was not all tea and crumpets for the common people. When you read this book, you'll not only be entertained, but educated as well.

The Nazis have only recently been routed, but in England, Fascism is becoming fashionable once again; the odious Sir Oswald Mosley has been vigorously recruiting members to his New Order of Britain party, with the aim of bringing down the Labour government. And with chronic shortages making a misery of post-war life, he's having a disquieting degree of success.Anxious to spoke his wheel, the secret service turns once again to Jethro, Cockney cat-burglar extraordinaire. They appeal to his pride, to his patriotism, to his preference for staying out of jail. Surely he wouldn't mind lifting a few vital documents from Mosley's headquarters? Jethro's an obliging fellow and the finest "creeper" in London, but even with a hand from Ian Fleming (in a cameo appearance), larceny is never as simple as one might like to think.
