Humphrey Neyland, engineer, is bitter because of the death of his wife and son. Against his will, because of skills he has, he finds himself working for British secret service at the start of WWII. He is sent to Gretley, an industrial town, to root out some Nazi informants. He meets the local people and noses about and, with the help of a local policeman, finds the people he's looking for and stops them. Along the way he falls in love with a woman doctor.

Review - Black Out in Gretley

Not bad, but my interest often wandered. It was more like a British mystery novel than an espionage novel, with all sorts of characters and false leads and all.
