Book Description

As Stephanie delves into the mysterious circumstances surrounding her great-aunt’s death she begins to uncover the secrets and deceptions of a previous generation. Gossip in Carlswick village about a tragic wartime romance is mingled with whispers of clandestine visitors, art smuggling and perhaps, collaboration with the Nazis.
