shelter with all the luxury expected from one of the capitals most prestigious hotels. It
prompts the arrival of a disgruntled crowd from the East End demanding they be allowed entry
and respite from the endless bombing raids. They are given permission to enter and are stunned
by the opulence that greets them. The all-clear sounds the next morning and London comes slowly
back to life but not everyone can dust themselves down and carry on. One of the hotels guests
has been discovered dead stabbed in the back. Detective Chief Inspector Coburg and Sergeant
Lampson are called in and the finger of suspicion falls firmly upon the East Londoners but not
everything is as it seems in these sumptuous surroundings.
