Acerca de esta escucha
On a bright Sunday morning in Hawaii, Japanese planes swoop down and attack the US naval base at Pearl Harbour. America enters the war and Britain no longer stands alone against Hitler. The country can dare to hope again, although a long, hard struggle still clearly lies ahead.
Conditions on the home front remain bleak, and for Scotland Yard detective Frank Merlin, life is as arduous as ever. The carnage wrought by German bombers, the blackout, chronic shortages of food and other essentials, rampant corruption and limited police manpower continue to contribute to London's accelerating wartime crime rate.
In the week of Japan's aggression, Merlin is diverted from his tenacious campaign against London's organised criminal gangs by the violent deaths of two young women in the centre of the city.
The strangled body of one, an unknown teenager, is discovered, mummified, in the rubble of a bombed Victoria office building. The shattered corpse of the other, a famous film actress, is found on the pavement beneath her Mayfair apartment block, an apparent suicide.
Merlin investigates and encounters fraudulent film moguls, dissipated movie stars, mad Satanists and brutal gangsters amongst others as he and his team battle to uncover the connections and search out the truth.

When a brilliant emigré scientist is killed by a hit-and-run driver and a young woman's body is washed up in the Thames, Merlin and his team must investigate. The woman is an employee of the American embassy, whose ambassador at this time is Joseph Kennedy. DCI Merlin's investigation of diplomats at the embassy ruffles feathers at the foreign office - the American ambassador is a well-known supporter of appeasement, and many powerful and influential Britons favour the pursuit of a negotiated peace settlement with Hitler.

Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

London, 1654. Oliver Cromwell is at the height of his power and has declared himself Lord Protector. Yet he has many enemies at home and abroad. London is a complex web of spies and merchants, priests and soldiers, exiles and assassins. One of the web's most fearsome spiders is Damian Seeker, agent of the Lord Protector. No one knows where Seeker comes from, who his family is, or even his real name. All that is known of him for certain is that he is utterly loyal to Cromwell and that nothing can be long hidden from him.

Its contents could prove devastating in the wrong hands.

London, September 1666. The Great Fire rages through the city, consuming everything in its path. Even the impregnable cathedral of St. Paul's is engulfed in flames and reduced to ruins. Among the crowds watching its destruction is James Marwood, son of a disgraced printer and reluctant government informer. In the aftermath of the fire, a semi-mummified body is discovered in the ashes of St. Paul's, in a tomb that should have been empty. The man's body has been mutilated, and his thumbs have been tied behind his back.

September, 1940. The sun is shining, and in the midst of the good weather Londoners could be mistaken for forgetting their country was at war - until the familiar wail of the air-raid sirens heralds an enemy attack. The Blitz has started, and normal life has abruptly ended - but crime has not. That night a man's body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene, he recognises the victim: local justice of the peace Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious, but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence.

Excellent Novel
Being a fan of British detective novels, this was an excellent story with excellent narration andwith great flow of the storyline. The level of writing was of a high intellectual level. Being a history buff, it was interesting to see the British perspective after the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. I highly recommend this audiobook.
