Introducing Johnny One Eye, the exciting new detective operating in London during the Blitz. Invalided out of the army after losing an eye in a rifle accident, John Hawke sets up as a private detective. In the autumn of 1940 he is engaged to investigate the mysterious death of a young woman, who had led a double life. What is the connection between her brutal murder and the fading film star Gordon Moore, of the popular Tiger Blake B-movies fame? Johnny also becomes involved in the plight of a runaway boy who may have witnessed something terrible. This engrossing mystery is told with wit and humour, whilst evoking an atmospheric picture of the home front during those dark days of the Second World War. An impressive debut for Johnny One Eye.
