Summer, 1976. A plane crashes on a farm in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Out
of the flames walks young Maggie Beck, clutching a baby in her arms...
Twenty-seven years later, investigative journalist Philip Dryden -
visiting his wife, Laura in hospital - is witness to Maggie's deathbed
confession. But some secrets are best kept secret, and what started out
for Dryden as a small and curious story about the only survivor of an
almost-forgotten plane crash soon escalates into a full-blown murder
investigation.
And while Dryden is wondering what other secrets Maggie carried, his
semi-conscious wife is trying to tell him something that might just save
his life...
