In Alex Wexford - A Detective Story Vol. 2, the Grey Fox of Whitehall returns to confront Britain's darkest conspiracies.
The year is 1937. London is alive with whispers of betrayal, corruption, and a rising tide of fascism that threatens to drown the nation. Detective Alistair Alec Wexford finds himself entangled in two explosive investigations:
- The Raven's Ledger - When the body of a young woman is found outside a notorious London nightclub, a hidden list sewn into her corset reveals the names of Britain's most powerful figures. Wexford follows a trail of blood and deception from the velvet rooms of Soho to the secret societies of Whitehall, uncovering a conspiracy that could topple the government.
- Blood Over Whitehall - As the fires of extremism burn hotter, Wexford unearths a chilling plan codenamed Ravensdown. Infiltrating masked galas, propaganda presses, and clandestine safehouses, he faces betrayal from within his own circle and discovers that even the protectors of the realm may be playing both sides.
With the nation teetering on the brink and time running out, Alec Wexford must expose a fifth column working in the shadows-before Britain itself becomes the next pawn in a deadly game of power.
A gripping mix of espionage, noir atmosphere, and historical intrigue, this second volume cements Wexford as one of the most compelling detectives of his age.
