Seaton Manor is a comfortable haven, and Billy is eager to spend a few precious days in Diana’s company pretending the war is far away.Unfortunately, that illusion doesn’t hold for long: the village hosts a top-secret military intelligence operation, home to high-ranking German POWs. When a crashed German bomber resurfaces off the coast with the corpse of a British officer in the pilot seat, Billy is assigned by the commander of the POW facility to investigate. After the plane is discovered, a local villager is murdered–and suddenly what had appeared to be a failed enemy military operation takes on an even more sinister aspect. All Billy’s ex-Boston cop instincts are put to the test as he interviews the grieving, angry, and conniving citizens of this idyllic English country village.
