A Death in Bloomsbury: Everyone has secrets, but some are fatal. - Paperback

by David C. Dawson (Author)

Everyone has secrets... but some are fatal.

1932, London. Late one December night Simon Sampson stumbles across the body of a woman in an alleyway. Her death is linked to a plot by right-wing extremists to assassinate the King on Christmas Day. Simon resolves to do his patriotic duty and unmask the traitors.

But Simon Sampson lives a double life. Not only is he a highly respected BBC radio announcer, but he's also a man who loves men, and as such must live a secret life. His investigation risks revealing his other life and with that imprisonment under Britain's draconian homophobic laws of the time. He faces a stark choice: his loyalty to the King or his freedom.

This is the first in a new series from award-winning author David C. Dawson. A richly atmospheric novel set in the shadowy world of 1930s London, where secrets are commonplace, and no one is quite who they seem.

The Simon Sampson Mysteries start in London 1932 and continue through the 1930s across Europe.

Set against the rise of fascism in the continent, the series features a man who does his patriotic duty to fight the enemy, even though as a gay man he's an outlaw.
