Summary

Spring 1945. The war is nearly over, but the wounds are still fresh, and for the picturesque village of Larkwhistle in the New Forest, it's a time of great change and great sorrow. Jill Metcalfe receives the news of her brother Henry's death from his friend, US Army Officer Jack Stafford. 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 Henry's cryptic last words will lead to a clue to identify the traitor he is hunting. With Jill at his side, they begin to investigate. But someone doesn't want them looking into what happened to Henry. And when a body is found, it seems like there might be more to this little village - and its inhabitants - than first meets the eye.
