Crime & Mystery

DCI Lilian Wyles is confronted by a troubling case, one that only the four queens of crime can help solve-even amidst the ongoing war efforts.

Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, and Ngaio Marsh are back in the follow-up novel to The Four Queens of Crime.

1941, London. When DCI Lilian Wyles finds a young woman

murdered at King's Cross Station, she needs the help of someone she can

trust, but Richard Davidson, her former Scotland Yard partner, has

joined MI5 and is busy tracking black market routes outside of London,

so for now, she is on her own.

After having met the

four queens of crime during a murder investigation two years earlier,

DCI Wyles has kept in touch. But Agatha, Dorothy, Margery, and Ngaio are

all involved in the war effort and have problems of their own.

Agatha

is volunteering at the University Hospital Pharmacy, where a dangerous

anesthetic has been stolen. Dorothy has heard unsettling information

from her connections at the BBC regarding members of the Royal Navy.

Margery, who has been in the countryside helping families escape the

city from the bombing, is worried about one of her charges whose older

sister has gone missing. And Ngaio, who has relocated to New Zealand and

is volunteering as an ambulance driver, has begun gathering secret

intelligence from wounded soldiers and sailors that may put her in

danger.

When the four queens contact DCI Wyles for

help, the information they share makes the final pieces of the puzzle

fall into place. DCI Wyles once again finds herself collaborating with

her old partners in crime to solve the mystery and close the case in

this thrilling sequel, perfect for fans of Nicola Upson and Anna Lee

Huber.
