London burns — but not from German bombs.

Volume 3 is the most explosive and politically dangerous Wexford case yet.

Set at the height of the Blitz, Operation Lazarus and The Night Bureau reveal a terrifying truth:

Not all of Britain’s enemies are foreign.

Story 1 — OPERATION LAZARUS

As bombs fall nightly over London, Alec Wexford uncovers a far darker plot: British-made incendiaries are appearing at civilian craters. A decorated colonel — Sebastian Harrow — is secretly using the Blitz as cover for a false-flag internal uprising, to “rebirth” Britain under military rule.

His endgame is codenamed PROMETHEUS — something airborne, hidden in plain sight, and moments away from ignition.

This is not theft. Not treason.

It is a planned patriotic coup.

Wexford must stop it — even if it means hunting one of his own.

Story 2 — THE NIGHT BUREAU

Continues from Operation Lazarus but darker espionage

Tone & Style:

Authentic British intelligence thriller — Le Carré’s paranoia meets Alastair MacLean’s precision, told with icy realism. Every move is political. Every ally is a risk. Every bomb might be British.
