Back in London' as the D Day assault on Europe is planned and organized, Billy gets charged with protecting its greatest secret. Where will the invasion take place?? As is often Benn's raison d'etre for this series, we explore another overlooked part of WW2 History, the treatment of Negro soldiers? Called on by a former Bostonian acquaintance to clear his gunner from a military KKK-like murder charge, he must hold off MI5, consort with spies, and be concerned about Hitler's extermination of European Jews. He undertakes it with his usual insouciance and Boston Irish doggedness, ably abetted by Kaz and Diana. Another interesting entry in this quite good series. This series stays good. I like getting to see aspects of World War II I hadn't known about, and I also like that character development carries over from book to book- Billy's growing up, and the characters of Diana, Kaz and even Big Mike are developed from book to book. Trouble is, I appear to have run out. Write faster, James Benn! This series stays good.

The first is a personal request from an estranged friend: Sergeant Eugene "Tree" Jackson, who grew up with Billy in Boston, is part of the 617th Tank Destroyers, the all-African American battalion poised to make history by being the US Army's first combatant African American company. But making history isn't easy, and the 617 faces racism at every turn. One of Tree's men, a gunner named Angry Smith, has been arrested for a crime he almost certainly didn't commit, and faces the gallows if the real killer isn't found. Tree knows US top brass won't care about justice in this instance, and asks Billy if he'll look into it.
But Billy can't use any of his vacation time to investigate, because...
