This is the third book in the Esme Quentin genealogy mystery series.

Esme Quentin is reminded of a painful past when a journalist colleague of her late husband Tim, turns up unannounced asking about a story Tim reported on thirty-five years ago – the murder of an old soldier. Esme declines to get involved.

Meanwhile, Esme’s friend Ruth, prompted by WWII anniversaries, wants to solve the mystery of Vivienne, her mother Bea’s sister, a wartime nurse who never came home.

As Esme unpicks the threads of Vivienne’s past she stumbles upon a disturbing connection, linking the old soldier’s murder to her late husband’s fate. As events unravel, Esme realises that to uncover the secrets behind Vivienne’s story, she must also confront the terrifying truth behind her own.
