Information

It’s a homecoming for Jedburgh born Doug, whose eleven Roman novels established him as one of Britain’s most popular and original historical novelists. But the brilliant Blood Sacrifice takes us instead to Warsaw. In January 1943 it’s a city of the dead. In the ghetto the last 50,000 Jews await their fate but – they are prepared to fight to the end. Jan Kalisz, a Kripo investigator and Resistance double agent, has promised to supply them with weapons. Against all the odds, how can he possibly fulfill his vow? This is historical crime fiction at its pacy best.
