In 1949, eight years after the "Peace with Honor" was negotiated between THE UK and Nazi Germany by the Farthing Place, England has completed its slide into fascist dicatorship. Then a bomb explodes in a London suburb. The outstanding but politically compromised Inspector Carmichael of Scotland Lawn is assigned the situation. What he sees leads him to a conspiracy of peers and communists, of staunch king-and-country patriots and hardened IRA gunmen, to murder Britain's primary minister and his new ally, Adolf Hitler. Against a backdrop of increasing domestic espionage and the suppression of Jews and homosexuals, an ad-hoc group of idealists and conservatives blackmail the one person they have to complete their story, an actress who lives for her art and keeps the key to the fuhrer's fatality. From the ha'penny car seats in the theatre to the ha'pennies that cover useless men's eye, the conspiracy and the investigation swirl around each other, rotating beyond anyone's control. Within this brilliant partner to Farthing, Welsh-born World Fantasy Award-winner Jo Walton goes on her alternate record of an England that could have been with a novel that is both an homage of the classic detective novels of the 30s and 40s and an allegory of the world we stay in today.
