Torrid times!

A Dark Steel Death (A Tom Harper Mystery #10) by Chris Nickson  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tom Harper has worries. Worry about his beloved wife Annabelle and her dementia, worry about his daughter Mary after her fiancé was killed at the Somme. Worried by the spate of killings that had no rhyme or reason. Turning over Leeds in pursuit of the saboteur, agent provocateur or whatever he might be called, turned up some other criminal rings operating but as far as a saboteur goes, nothing!

Leeds, 1916 and an act of sabotage causes trauma and panic. A munitions factory is the first target, an army clothing factory the next. Tom must reach into darkness to find the traitor.

His best men are gone to the war effort. He’s fighting to hold on to the few he has. An further insight into the war from an organisation that’s been decimated. All their young men gone to fight in the war, the one wouldn’t last beyond that first Christmas. And now—they’re gone. 

A tense historical investigative read with Tom all but searching beneath rocks for the perpetrator/s.
