Forests After Dark is a gripping wartime crime mystery set in London during the Second World War, where blackouts, bombings, danger, and deception provide the backdrop for a disturbing murder investigation. When Pamela Palmer, a young woman with a troubled life, is found murdered in her flat, the police quickly arrest her boyfriend, Samuel Fraser, and appear satisfied that the case is solved. But former policeman Johnny Hawke is not convinced. Drawn into the investigation by a vulnerable runaway boy named Peter, Johnny begins following a trail of suspicious characters, secret meetings, hidden telephone calls, and conflicting stories. His search leads him into the shadowy worlds of prostitution, wealthy clients, the film industry, and wartime London. As Johnny pieces together the evidence, he discovers that Pamela’s death is connected to far more people than the police suspect. Combining murder, suspense, mystery, danger, and dark wartime atmosphere, this novel follows one determined investigator as he risks his own safety to uncover the truth.
