The sequel to Bomber’s Moon finds Leslie Atwater living a quiet life with his cousin Caroline in an isolated village in the English countryside. With his lover Edward off again on assignment and his life circumstances forever altered by war, Leslie becomes restless and bored.
It is January 1941. U-boats patrol offshore and are a constant threat to British livelihood, as are the daily bombings in London. But Leslie is far from the action. In an effort to lighten his mood, Caroline drags him to a first aid workshop at the vicarage. There he meets and befriends an enigmatic woman named Evangeline Blake, who resembles one of Leslie’s favorite stage and film actresses.
Then disaster strikes, and Leslie, Edward, and Caroline must work together to discover the truth. Was it a tragic accident or premeditated murder?
