In the shadows of post-war London, some wars never truly ended. 1950s Britain is exhausted, rebuilding, and quietly surrendering influence to its powerful American allies. Former intelligence officer Alec Wexford has spent years trying to bury the ghosts of the past-until an old colleague is found murdered in a Soho alley, clutching a cryptic message: EMBER FILES . Soon, Wexford uncovers the existence of Operation Embers, a secret post-war intelligence programme that allowed foreign agents to operate unchecked on British soil. Now, the men and women who once opposed it are being systematically erased. As fog rolls through London's streets and old wartime shelters become battlegrounds once more, Wexford is drawn into a deadly conspiracy involving CIA operatives, corrupt officials, hidden files, and betrayals buried since the end of World War II. With allies disappearing and enemies closing in, he must decide how far he is willing to go to stop history from being rewritten. Alex Wexford - A Detective Story Vol. 5 contains two gripping noir espionage thrillers:
Shadows in the Fog - A tense Cold War conspiracy set beneath the streets of London.
The Shrapnel Archive - A dangerous hunt for secrets powerful enough to destroy governments.
Perfect for fans of classic British espionage, smoky noir mysteries, and morally complex detectives, this atmospheric thriller combines the intrigue of John le Carré with the cinematic darkness of post-war London.
