The London Blitz Murders

By day, she’s Mrs. Mallowan, hospital pharmacist. By night, she’s Agatha Christie, queen of crime.

Doing her part for the war effort, Agatha dispenses medicine in
shell-shocked London. But the world’s most renowned mystery writer is
troubled. Compared to the horrors of World War II, her detective novels
seem trivial and quaint. When a Jack the Ripper–style murderer strikes,
Agatha lobbies her friend, forensics expert Sir Bernard Spilsbury, to
take her to the crime scenes. But the killings are far more gruesome
than any that her fictional detectives have ever solved. Can a crime
writer also be a crime fighter? Joining forces with London’s top
investigators, Agatha risks her life to stop the monstrous serial
killer.

With this ripped-from-the-headlines mystery, author Max Allan Collins
presents a blood-stained valentine to the most celebrated author of
detective fiction.
