October 1940. Bombs are falling on Stratford when air-raid warden Sylvia Parks sees a house
with a light shining like a beacon to the enemy aircraft overhead violating the strict
blackout regulations. With no answer at the door she manages to break in only to discover the
body of a young woman and shes been strangled with a stocking.For Detective Inspector John Jago
the scene brings back memories of the gruesome Soho Strangler who murdered four women in the
mid-1930s but has never been caught. Is there a connection? As the investigation develops it
leads him into a web of family jealousies violence robbery and the underworld of political
terrorism.
