March, 1941. World War Two is well underway and the Blitz is taking its toll on Central London with bombs raining down almost every night. Inspector Coburg and his trusted Sergeant Lampson are just recovering from the devastating bomb attack on the Café de Paris when they get a call asking them to go to the disused Lord's Underground station. Once there, they are taken to see the body of a man on the former platform. He's been beaten to death by blows on the back of his head, by what Dr Welbourne believes to have been a cricket bat.

Minnesota's winter is freezing cold, but its market for guns has never been hotter. February 1922 Prohibition has reached a fever pitch, transforming lowly bootleggers and gangsters into wealthy businessmen beyond sanction. The city of St. Paul, Minnesota, known to the criminal underworld as Crooks' Haven, has a rule for out-of-town mobsters: Come visit anytime; just pay your bribes and keep your criminal activity outside the city limits. Niklas and Kessler Kristofferson, Danish brothers recently returned from the Great War, recognize this as an opportunity.
