Whilst holidaying at nearby Meadowford Village, Detective Dermot Carlyle is asked to help investigate the brutal murder. The clues all point to a robbery gone wrong, but Dermot suspects that there is more to the horrific crime. The Fitzhughsβ secrets take Dermot along a path linking some of the biggest events of the British Colonial Empire β from India to Africa, to the dark days of the Great War itself.
As more murders take place, Dermot is racing against time to discover the killerβs identity. What are the family hiding, why did Lady Fitzhugh have to die, and what horror was committed in the colonies that led to this trail of death and deceit?
