A Storm In The Blood - Softcover

'Jon Fink's writing is superb. Fiction at its best. Extraordinarily touching, lyrical and evocative of the era.' Mo Hayder. '...shines a fascinating spotlight on a little piece of Edwardian history' The Daily Mail. '...Jon Stephen Fink resurrects the past with a masterfully crafted novel that brings to life murders long forgotten with his book A Storm in the Blood.' Kim Cantrell, truecrimebookreviews.com. 'A siege and shoot-out in Sherlock Holmes' London after an anarchist robbery gone wrong foreshadows Jerusalem 1947, Manhattan 2001, and Baghdad today. A Stormin the Blood slams home the revolutionary realities of lust, violence, anger and appetite. Jon Stephen Fink is the Tarantino of Terrorism.' John Baxter, author of Carnal Knowledge and We'll Always have Paris.

Published to coincide with the centenary of the Houndsditch Murders in December 2010, A Storm in the Blood tells the story of the Latvian revolutionaries who killed three officers of the Metropolitan Police. The parallel between the suicide ideologues of the time and contemporary terrorists, willing to die for their ideals, is all too clear. One of the most sensational crimes of the era, the murders were followed by the `Siege of Stepney Street', a gunfight that saw then-Home Secretary Winston Churchill sending troops into the streets of London.
