About the Book

Billy is sent to London in the midst of the Luftwaffe bombing offensive to investigate the murder of a Soviet official. There's reason to believe that the crime could be connected to the recent discovery of mass graves in the Katyn Forest, where thousands of Polish officers were executed. If the killer is out there, the diplomatic stakes are high as an uneasy relationship between the Soviets and allied powers hangs in the balance. Further still, Scotland Yard names Billy's friend Kaz as the prime suspect. He must track the killer through London's underworld.

Benn is the author of ten books in the Billy Boyle series: "Billy Boyle," "The First Wave," "Blood Alone," "Evil for Evil," "Rag and Bone," "A Mortal Terror," "Death s Door," "A Blind Goddess," "The Rest Is Silence," and "The White Ghost."

Review :
Praise for "Rag and Bone" Stark and poignant. "The New York Times Book Review" Billy Boyle is a corker. "The Seattle Times" Stellar . . . Benn excels at depicting the impact of war on London the bricks from bombed buildings piled neatly on the streets, families living in Tube stations, 'the odor of the Blitz.' "Publishers Weekly," Starred Review Graceful plotting, a strong supporting cast and a modern take on 40s dialogue all come together to make the Billy Boyle series one of the finest perhaps the finest of contemporary period mysteries. "BookPage" "From the Trade Paperback edition."" "'Uncle Ike' (aka General Eisenhower) personally pins silver first lieutenant bars on Billy Boyle in Benn's stellar fifth WWII mystery (after 2009's "Evil for Evil"). In December 1943, Billy's leave with his British girlfriend in Italy is cut short. Orders send him to London to look into a Soviet officer's shooting murder, which may be retaliation for the execution of thousands of Polish officers in the Katyn Forest that's been blamed on the Germans but probably was committed by Russians. Since the Soviets are allies, the investigation requires the utmost sensitivity. Billy's loyalties are tested because his friend who works for the Polish government in exile, Lieutenant Kazimierz, is a prime suspect. Benn excels at depicting the impact of war on London--the bricks from bombed buildings piled neatly on the streets, families living in Tube stations, 'the odor of the Blitz.' Destruction aside, Billy never forgets that 'Even in the midst of war, murder is unacceptable.'"--"Publishers Weekly," Starred Review "Benn shrewdly combines the political cat-and-mouse game with the murder investigation, offering a fascinating glimpse of the wartime intelligence world (Allies spying on Allies) and how it laid the groundwork for the Cold War."--Booklist Online "From the Trade Paperback edition."
