Billy Boyle is the introductory novel to a world we today do not know. Billy has just gotten to be a detective in Boston. He's part of a large clan of Irish friends and relatives. His mother does not want him to be drafted. When she remembers a distant relative (a Doud)b is married to a general who is stationed stateside, she makes arrangements for Billy to be attached to this general. The Doud connection is to Uncle Ike, who Billy soon discovers is now in England! His Irish relatives aren't excited about his helping the English.
Billy is immersed in a world of secrecy. He soon discovers he's to help discover a spy at a Danish compound in England. When murder happens, he gets involved. There's new friends, a Polish count and a beautiful Englishwoman.
This book was an interesting read. Billy isn't always honest; he goes around the rules & laws. Billy is almost an innocent abroad who is growing up & learning as he works. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
