Newcastle, 1924 . Reporter
Poppy Denby is making her way up to Northumberland to celebrate her father’s sixtieth birthday, but first, she can’t resist stopping for a few days in Newcastle, for a quick hello to her favourite Aunt Dot.
The infamous suffragette has temporarily moved up and is hosting world-renowned artist and long-time friend, Agnes Robson who is staging an exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery.
It was supposed to be a relaxing and art-filled stop on the way, however, when a local journalist tries to link Agnes to the mysterious death of a young art teacher in Ashington Colliery, twenty-seven years earlier, Poppy is quickly roped in to help.
Poppy is determined to clear Agne’s names but the more she digs into this story the more she is convinced the young teacher was murdered by someone else, and that only means one thing:
there is still a killer on the loose.
