Spring 1945. The war is over, but the wounds are still fresh, and for the picturesque village of Larkwhistle in the New Forest, its a time of great change and great sorrow.
Jill Metcalfe receives the news of her brother Henrys death from his friend, US Army Officer, Jack.
Henry had been on a mission in France and had discovered some vital information, but it was information he was unable to give to Jack before he was killed at the rendezvous point.
Jack has come to the village in the hopes that Henrys cryptic last words will lead to a clue as to who killed him. With Jill at his side, they begin to investigate.
But someone doesnt want them looking into what happened to Henry. And when a body is discovered, it seems like there might be more to this little village and its inhabitants than first meets the eye.
Because the war might be over, but the killing hasnt stopped.
