About This Item
New York: Pegasus Crime, 2017. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 6x0x9. 1st printing. An exceptional copy. 2017 Trade Paperback. In the late summer of 1941, as the war in Europe drags on, long-buried secrets begin to surface in the Hampshire village of Winstead, when the body of a young woman—a former conscientious objector—is found shot to death in the church cemetery. The woman’s only connection to Winstead seems to be that she lately had joined a group of conscripted workers who are building a prisoner of war camp on an abandoned farm near the village. But Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Lamb, who is called in to solve the case, has his doubts.
