      About This Book

      Henry Johnstone has retired from his role as detective chief inspector, but is drawn back to an old case in Lincolnshire by an astonishing development in this page-turning mystery.

      1931, Lincolnshire. Everyone thought that the young man who attacked Robert Hanson in a field three years ago before fleeing the scene was responsible for his death, including Detective Chief Inspector Henry Johnstone. Now retired from Scotland Yard and working as a private investigator, a shocking confession draws Henry back to the case. But is it worth stirring up old passions and bitter rivalries to right past wrongs?

      Meanwhile, Inspector Mickey Hitchens is investigating a chilling case of arson and murder – and his old boss and mentor Henry's assistance could be the key to unlocking the case . . .

      Fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Jeanne M. Dams and Agatha Christie will love this absorbing historical mystery that explores social prejudice and rural traditions in 1930s England.
