520    "September, 1940. Three women of the Checquy, the secret 
       organization tasked with protecting Britain from 
       supernatural threats, stand in the sky above London and 
       see German aircraft approach. Forbidden by law to 
       interfere, all they can do is watch as their city is 
       bombed. Until Pamela, the most sensible of them, breaks 
       all the rules and brings down a Nazi bomber with her bare 
       hands. The three resolve to tell no one about it, but they
       soon learn that a crew member is missing from the downed 
       bomber. Charred corpses are discovered in nearby houses 
       and it becomes apparent that the women have unwittingly 
       unleashed a monster. Through a city torn by the Blitz, the
       friends must hunt the enemy before he kills again. Their 
       task will take them from the tunnels of the Underground to
       the halls of power, where they will discover the secrets 
       that a secret organization must keep even from itself. 
       Today. Lynette Binns, a librarian with a husband and child,
       is a late recruit to the Checquy, having discovered only 
       as an adult her ability to electrify everyday objects with
       her touch. After completing her training, she is assigned 
       to examine a string of brutal murders and quickly realizes
       that all bear the unmistakable hallmark of her own unique 
       power. Unable to provide an alibi and determined to prove 
       her innocence, she flees, venturing into the London 
       underworld to find answers. But now she is prey, being 
       tracked by her own frighteningly capable comrades. As Lyn 
       fights off powered thugs and her own vengeful colleagues, 
       she will find that the solution to the murders and to the 
       mystery of her own past lies in the events of World War II,
       and the covert actions of three young women during the 
       Blitz." --publisher's website.
