Britain 1941. Still reeling from the greatest loss of his life, the
Reverend Major Clement Wisdom is called on again to serve his nation in
its time of need. Under the cover of taking up a new parish in far
northern Scotland, Clement is sent to the remote village of Huna, in
Caithness, to locate a possible enemy agent who is sending out encrypted
radio messages.
Arriving in the depths of winter, Clement quickly finds it isn't only
the temperature that is unnervingly cold. Perched on the edge of Great
Britain, the isolated community is wary of strangers. Struggling to gain
trust from the locals and where even his assigned Government contact,
the local Postmistress, is antagonistic, he becomes entangled in a web
of silence. When the husband of his contact is found dead, the body
horrifically impaled on a shard of window glass, Clement is at first
unsure if it is an unfortunate accident, or a gruesome warning.
As more deaths are uncovered, Clement realises he is facing not only an
enemy spy but a ruthless killer who must be caught before they can
escape. With limited time, Clement must act quickly, and, if
necessary, alone.
The second in the Clement Wisdom series of thrillers that mix historical
fact, crime fiction and superb characterisations. They will keep you
hungry for the next piece of this wartime puzzle.
