Publisher's summary

The English Affair is the third book in the Newspaper Chronicles trilogy.

Throughout history, villains have always taken center stage. Jamie Stroud, the investigative journalist for The Chicago Clarion, teams up once again with her friends Lucy D’Tremont and Sir Christopher Fenton to solve a case of the murder of an armored car guard who was a local Chicago hero. The trio is also investigating a crime where a synagogue is attacked and five parishioners are killed.

As the case unfolds, Jamie Stroud is attacked. This time, however, the attack comes from her bosses after a complaint is filed against her. Jamie is suspended for a year. The trio decides to move to London, where Sir Christopher owns a flat in Knightsbridge that they plan to live in. No sooner have they arrived when they are ensnared in an art theft that they are asked to help solve.

This action-packed mystery takes the indomitable trio on a journey of intrigue, beginning with stories about living in the ghettos of Poland and the subsequent capture and survival in Auschwitz. From there, they pursue a lead to a manor house in Buckinghamshire, where they investigate the robbery of an invaluable Monet painting. While there, they endure vivid tales of World War Two pilot Pongo Underhill, who would fly female operatives behind enemy lines where they would parachute into hostile territory and help the resistance blow up roads and buildings.
