Finalist for the 2019 Lefty Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel
|
It's been four years since Flight Lieutenant Darling and his crew were shot out of the sky, crash landing their Lancaster in a field behind enemy lines in occupied France. He lost two good men in that battle—two of millions of the war’s casualties—and spent the intervening years building a new life. But now a British government official has come to King’s Cove with questions about what happened that chaotic day, and to summon Darling to London for further investigation.
In a matter of days, Darling is arrested and charged with murder. Without hesitation, Lane makes her way to London, where she is told there is little hope of saving the man she loves. But she refuses to give up without a fight. Prepared to do anything for his release, Lane considers a dangerous proposal that could save Darling’s life—and endanger her own.
