‘An original, authentic period mystery that keeps you guessing, with a strong female protagonist’ Jane Hunt Book ReviewsThe Cotswolds, Summer, 1947
In the aftermath of war, Emily Sutton struggles to find her place in a world irrevocably changed by conflict.

Now, even as Emily begins to understand each man’s true nature, the bright summer sky is darkened by a new attack. Someone is working hard to ensure that John’s ghost will not be allowed to rest, with terrifying consequences…
