Later this month The American Suspect will be available in bookshops, online, and in several formats. It’s the fifth Inspector Eden Brooke nighthawk novel, and like the rest is set in Cambridge in the Second World War. It is 1943 and Britain is changing fast, thanks to the arrival of the ‘GI’ – eventually a million and a half Americans will be trained here, and then depart for the liberation of Europe. With them wil come black US servicemen – segregated within their own army, a imposition the people of Cambridge find deeply unfair. All US servicemen come under American law – even in England. When a mruder adds to the tension Brooke has to keep a clear head to navigate hsi way to the truth through clouds of discrimination and injustice. If he fails ther wrong man may hang.
