'A powerful story of loss, malice and deception' Ann Cleeves
When archaeologist Neil Watson finds the body of an American veteran of
the D-Day landings in the ruins of an old chapel, he turns to his old
friend DS Wesley Peterson for help.
Both men are researching an invading force: Wesley, a group of American
veterans on a sentimental journey to their wartime base; and Neil, a
group of Spaniards killed by outraged locals as they limped from the
wreckage of the Armada.
Four hundred years apart, two strangers in a strange land have died
violently. Could the same motives of hatred, jealousy and revenge be at
work? Wesley is running out of time to find out . . .
