Blitz : a novel / Daniel O'Malley.
September, 1940: Three women of the Checquy, the secret organization tasked with protecting Britain from supernatural threats, stand in the sky above London and watch German aircraft approach. Forbidden by law to interfere, all they can do is watch as their city is bombed. Pamela suddenly breaks all the rules and brings down a Nazi bomber with her bare hands. The three resolve to tell no one about it, but when charred corpses are discovered in nearby houses it becomes apparent that the women have unwittingly unleashed a monster. The present: Today. Lynette Binns is a late recruit to the Checquy, having discovered only as an adult her ability to electrify everyday objects with her touch.She is assigned to examine a string of brutal murders of London criminals and quickly realizes that all bear the hallmark of her own unique power. Unable to provide an alibi, Lyn becomes the prey, tracked by her own comrades. -- adapted from jacket
