Goat farmer, cheese maker and weaver Tristan Smith is working on her North Yorkshire smallholding when a chance visit by archaeologists exposes a skeleton in an abandoned WW2 bunker. But it's not a wartime casualty. Tristan becomes involved in the search for the truth as DI Geldard follows a trail from North Yorkshire to the Norfolk Broads. He is seeking justice for a long-dead victim; while another casualty is hunting for a new life and a safe place to start again. A story of coercion and abuse in beautiful places.
