The Camberwell Raid

There was a double wedding planned in Walworth. Sally Brown was marrying Horace Cooper, and her brother, Freddy, was at last getting hitched to his childhood sweetheart, Cassie Ford. But the wedding wasn't the only thing being planned, for Ginger Carstairs and Dusty Miller were working out a bank robbery and, unbeknown to the inhabitants of Walworth and Denmark Hill, both Freddy Brown and the Adams family were to be deeply involved and put in considerable danger.

It took much ingenuity on Boots's part to come up with a scheme that would foil the plans of the raiders. And all this was happening at a time when Boots had other worries in his life, and when the unity of his own little family was being threatened.

Reviews

Catherine Cookson would not have been ashamed to have her name on this seasonal wartime saga. Readers will love heroine Mary O'Connor

—— Peterborough Evening Telegraph

A poignant and mesmerising story of tragedy and triumph from the author of The Stanford Lasses

—— Country Gentleman’s Association

This charming tale will be perfect for when you want to escape the festive preparations

Ruth Rendell is surely one of the greatest novelists presently at work in our language. The extraordinary depth and accuracy of her psychological portraits is matched only by the rare inventiveness of her storytelling

—— Scott Turow

Psychologically acute and extremely disturbing, Ruth Rendell’s work is outstanding

—— The Times

Engrossing
