A cosy historical mystery set during the Second World War
'I'll come for you, Iris. Mark my words!'
When a murder rocks the quiet village of Helmstead, seventeen-year-old
Land Girl, Iris Dawson, is determined to prove her friend and local
gamekeeper Frank Tucker's innocence. But when she exposes Vernon Storey,
the real murderer, her once happy life at Pasture Farm soon becomes a
nightmare. Already running from the ghosts of her past back home in
Northampton, Iris is now haunted by Vernon, who is out there somewhere
and has promised to have his revenge.
Iris has never forgiven herself for the tragedy that destroyed her
family and how, as a child, she failed her mother, and now the new
surrogate family she has at Pasture Farm is fracturing around her. No
one believes she is in danger, or that those she loves could also be
Vernon's targets in his bid to escape the law, so she must face this
battle on her own. A battle that this time, Iris cannot afford to lose,
culminating in a desperate race against time to save another innocent
life, and to take back her own, once and for all.
