Everyone has secrets - some are just more deadly than others . . .
April 1941, Romsey, England.
Josephine 'Jo' Fox hasn't set foot in Romsey in over twenty years. As an illegitimate child, her controlling grandfather found her an embarrassment. Now, she's returned to what was once her home to uncover the secret of her parentage. Who was her father and why would her mother never talk about him?
Jo arrives the day after the local pub has been bombed and rescue teams are searching for the remains of the seven people known to have been in the pub at the time. But when an eighth, unidentified, body - that of a teenage girl - is discovered in the rubble, rumours are rife. Who is she and how did she get there? When it becomes clear that the girl was murdered, the hunt is on for the killer in their midst.
Teaming up with local coroner and old friend Bram Nash, Jo sets out to establish the identity of the girl and solve the riddle of her death, whilst also seeking to unravel the mystery of her own past.
