1931, Lincolnshire. Everyone thought that the young man who attacked Robert Hanson in a field three years ago before fleeing the scene was responsible for his death, including Detective Chief Inspector Henry Johnstone. Now retired from Scotland Yard and working as a private investigator, a shocking confession draws Henry back to the case.

Meanwhile, Inspector Mickey Hitchens is investigating a chilling case of arson and murder – and his old boss and mentor Henry’s assistance could be the key to unlocking the case . . .
Fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Jeanne M. Dams and Agatha Christie will love this absorbing historical mystery that explores social prejudice and rural traditions in 1930s England.
