In The Blue Last, Richard Jury finally faces the very last thing in the world he wants to deal with - the war that killed his mother, his daddy, his child years. Mickey Haggerty, a DCI with the London City police, has called for Jury's help. Two skeletons have been unearthed in the City through the excavation of London's previous bombsite, where once a pub stood called the The Blue Last. Mickey is convinced that a child who survived the bombing has been posing for over 50 years as a child who didn't. The grandchild of brewery magnet Oliver Tyndale supposedly survived that Dec 1940 bombing...but have she? Mickey also offers a murder to solve. Simon Croft, profitable City financial broker and boy of the one-time owner of The Blue Last, is available shot to fatality in his Thames-side house. However the booklet he was authoring London through the German blitzkrieg has vanished. Jury wishes to get sight and ears into Tynedale Lodge, and looks to his friend, Melrose Plant, to experience the role. Reluctantly, Seed plays it, followed on his rounds of the Lodge gardens by nine-year-old Gemma Lean, orphan and ward of Oliver Tynedale; and Benny Keagan, a resourceful 12-year-old orphaned delivery boy. And Richard Jury may well not make it out alive. A stolen book, stolen lives, or is some of this what it appears? Identity, memory space, provenance - they are all called into question in The Blue Last.
