Against the terror of the Blitzkrieg strikes on London in 1940, a lone psychopath stalks individual victims and kills them with methodical precision. Detective Inspector Morris Black of Scotland Yard tracks the killer - whom he dubs Queer Jack - from corpse to corpse and discovers that each victim was killed at the site of a devastating Luftwaffe raid, only hours before the raid occurred! Black is summoned into Churchill's Magic Circle - a supersecret group of officers, politicians and spies - and told that there is a connection to the killer he tracks and the fact that British Intelligence has cracked "Ultra," the Nazi military code. An even worse truth is revealed to Black - a Nazi spy in Britain, know to Intelligence as The Doctor, is probably on the trail of Queer Jack as well. If The Doctor finds him first, the Nazis will know that their code has been broken. With Katherine Copeland, a beautiful American agent whose agenda is never clear to him, Black plunges into a nerve-rattling battle of wits. His opponents are formidable and the race to find Queer Jack becomes frantic for both pursuers as the stakes escalate to a final confrontation.

This mystery includes too many familiar characters and plots from every mystery book you have ever read. If you are interested in mysteries that take place during WWII, I would recommend that you read Robert Harris or Philip Kerr.
