Description

In the dark days of the Blitz, crime goes undercover. Undertaker Francis Hancock has seen the worst that humanity can do to itself. But when a young gypsy girl is murdered in Epping Forest, he is drawn into a human melting pot where travellers, homeless people, deserters and German spies all inhabit this stretch of open ground. Francis knows it's not wise to delve into this complex world, but his curiosity gets the better of him. As he investigates the girl's murder further, he uncovers a much bigger conspiracy that threatens to destroy everything in its path. At the heart of this sinister plot lies something even Adolf Hitler is prepared to kill for. A gripping and atmospheric tale of crime and deception set against the backdrop of one of history's darkest periods.
