The Westminster Fog
A Barratt & Parish InvestigationLondon, 1954. The suffocating autumn fog isn't the only thing masking secrets along the Thames. When Sir Arthur Pendelton, a meticulous senior civil servant, is found dead at his desk-hands perfectly folded, a washed port glass nearby-the official verdict is heart failure. But his distraught widow suspects a cover-up and hires retired Metropolitan Police detectives George Barratt and Harry Parish.
With seventy-six years of combined experience, the duo quickly uncovers a hidden, freshly ransacked compartment beneath the dead man's floorboards. The solitary clue? A torn receipt from a notorious Soho jazz club. As Barratt and Parish untangle a treacherous web stretching from East End gangland turf to the highest corridors of Whitehall power, they realize Pendelton wasn't just tracking black-market millions-he was blackmailing the state.
In a city built on illusions, finding the truth is dangerous; surviving it might be impossible.
