Description

In Ha penny, England has completed its slide into fascist dictatorship. The last hopes of democracy seem extinguished. Then a bomb explodes in a London suburb.

The brilliant but compromised Inspector Carmichael of Scotland Yard is assigned the case. What he finds leads him to a conspiracy of peers and communists – of staunch King-and-Country patriots and hardened IRA gunmen – to murder the Prime Minister and his ally, Adolf Hitler.

Against a background of domestic espionage and suppression, a band of idealists blackmails an actress who holds the key to the Fuhrer s death. From the ha penny seats in the theatre to the ha pennys that cover dead men s eyes, the conspiracy and the investigation swirl inexorably to a stunning conclusion.
