London, 1947 - the hottest summer ever. Everything is still rationed and the city is in ruins. But even though everyone says the war is over it doesn't feel like that for Godfrey Munro. Why hasn't his father come home? Why is he in South America? Will he ever come back? In Soho, where Godfrey lives in a cafe with his mother, gangs are making life dangerous and the fascists, defeated in Europe, are on the march again all over London. Is the stranger who turns up on the doorstep really a Nazi war criminal? Why does he think Godfrey's father is in London? How much do the 43 Group know, and can Godfrey afford to trust them with his life? Godfrey is about to find out exactly what his inheritance means...
