In 1935, Soho is Sergeant Leon Geats’s patch. There’s not much he doesn’t know about the people inhabiting this infamous area of London, the working girls, the pimps, the gangsters, fascists and corrupt cops, or the jazz clubs and dives for which its streets are famous. When a body is found above the Windmill Club, detectives dismiss the case as a suicide. Geats disagrees. Working with his former partner, mercenary Flying Squad sergeant Mark Cassar, he focuses obsessively for decades on finding a warped killer. The setting, scenes and characters feel real and the plotting comes with some satisfying twists.
