The Silent War by Larry Johns, a WWII-set espionage action adventure thriller with apparently some cryptoanalysis and a daring prison breakout in the plot, originally out from UK publisher Robert Hale in 1981.

In Europe, the Germans are still totally unaware that the allies have broken the complicated ENIGMA code, whilst in the Far East theatre, where the Japanese are using their own version of the ENIGMA code, an intercepted communication leads Brigadier Donald Reisman, head of British Intelligence in Calcutta, to the damning conclusion that the war’s most closely guarded secret is no longer secure.

Can he afford to test his theory when, to do so, he must open Pandora’s box? And can he afford not to?

One way or the other he must act - and quickly! Lives are at stake. Future campaigns are at stake. For without the ENIGMA secret the already hard- pressed allied armies are in danger of being swept further and further westward. Reisman’s eventual decision leads his team back into Japanese occupied Burma in an effort to free from a prison camp the one man who can answer the burning question.

The October Five by "Thomas Fincham", which seems to be the new experimental marketing pseudonym of Nigerian-Canadian (IIRC) author Mobashar Qureshi (SYKM), a murder mystery originally out from Canadian small publisher Mercury Press in 2009 under the Qureshi name, and put him in Quill & Quire's (a literary/publishing magazine akin to Publishers Weekly) Top 10 Writers of the Year to Watch list or somesuch.

A Plumber, an Electrician, a Caretaker, a Locksmith, and a Butcher.

What do these men have in common?

Veteran Detective Karl Whaler is thrown into an investigation that may be the strangest and most dangerous of his career, involving the brutal murder of a young man. Unknown to him, five individuals have secretly met in a room for decades. When another victim is found, Whaler is forced to make a decision that will change his life forever.
