Humphrey Neyland a Intelligence officer for the British is sent to the industrial town of Gretley to uncover German spies.
Published in 1942 this is very readable, some good characters while being totally implausible but implausibility has never been a barrier to an enjoyable read.
My only criticism is every now and then Priestley goes off a socialist rant which an be a bit distracting as he over eggs it, meaning a sentence rather than an entire paragraph would have done.
A book of its time.
