Description
On a stormy night in March 1941, Maisie Rose Hawkins leaves her husband Stan out in the rain - and he disappears. A search for answers begins, leading Detective Sergeant Bob Robbins to uncover secrets beneath the surface of village life. As Bob searches for clues, he discovers that wartime deprivations are being evaded by shopkeepers who quietly flout rationing restrictions. The death of food inspector Archibald Bantry in a suspicious car crash adds to the mystery. Leads connect a sea cave full of smuggled black-market goods to Stan's disappearance, and Bob must navigate a complex web of local malcontents. A disused copper mine holds the key to unraveling the truth, but what he finds there is far more sinister than initially thought. As Bob delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a fierce battle being waged against those who would seek to exploit the vulnerable.
