Three women of the Checquy, the secret  organization tasked with protecting Britain from supernatural threats,  stand in the sky above London and see German aircraft approach.  Forbidden by law to interfere, all they can do is watch as their city is  bombed. Until Pamela, the most sensible of them, breaks all the rules  and brings down a Nazi bomber with her bare hands. The three resolve to  tell no one about it, but they soon learn that a crew member is missing  from the downed bomber. Charred corpses are discovered in nearby houses  and it becomes apparent that the women have unwittingly unleashed a  monster.  Through a city torn by the Blitz, the friends must  hunt the enemy before he kills again. Their task will take them from the  tunnels of the Underground to the halls of power, where they will  discover the secrets that a secret organization must keep even from  itself. Today.  Lynette Binns, a librarian with a husband  and child, is a late recruit to the Checquy, having discovered only as  an adult her ability to electrify everyday objects with her touch. After  completing her training, she is assigned to examine a string of brutal  murders and quickly realizes that all bear the unmistakable hallmark of  her own unique power. Unable to provide an alibi and determined to prove  her innocence, she flees, venturing into the London underworld to find  answers. But now she is prey, being tracked by her own frighteningly  capable comrades.  As Lyn fights off powered thugs and her own  vengeful colleagues, she will find that the solution to the murders and  to the mystery of her own past lies in the events of World War II, and  the covert actions of three young women during the Blitz. An epic, smart and funny mystery spanning two generations,  Blitz  is the long-awaited third instalment in Daniel O'Malley's acclaimed Checquy Files series, available in the UK for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48573801988315,"sku":"9781399621663-RETAIL","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6e7bd525-153e-46c3-9367-1a24513cd3ae.jpg?v=1775578983","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781399621663-retail-blitz","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
