Armistice Day, November 1940, London. D.I. John Jago and D.S. Peter Cradock are seconded to Scotland Yard to investigate when a dead body of a man is discovered, battered to death, in an Anderson shelter. Tho white poppies were found on his body next to his bicycle. What is the significance of them. It seems he was an enthusiastic cyclist and had joined a local club. But what could have been the motive and who is the guilty party. An entertaining and well-written historical mystery, with its cast of likeable and varied characters. A good addition to the series which can easily be read as a standalone story.
