Returning to England from France for a well-deserved Christmas leave, World War I battlefield nurse Bess Crawford is shocked to find a woman seeking shelter from the harsh winter in the doorway of her London flat. Upon learning that the distraught stranger had fled her home after a violent quarrel with her husband, Bess reluctantly agrees to accompany the woman, whom she fears has a concussion, back to her Sussex home. When she arrives at the dreary Vixen Hill, a sense of unease compels Bess to stay a bit longer with the family. But her brief sojourn turns extended when a houseguest is shockingly murdered--and Bess emerges as one of the suspects! The search for the truth behind the family's secrets takes the intrepid nurse/sleuth through a dangerous quest in war-torn France, and ultimately leaves Bess fearing for her own life. Charles Todd (a mother-son author team) delivers another thrilling historical mystery, which we're offering in both regular and large print.
