Lancashire, England, June 1920.
In a house with a red door lies the body of a woman who has
been bludgeoned to death. Rumor has it that two years
earlier, she'd painted that door to welcome her husband back
from the Front. Only he never came home. Meanwhile, in
London, a man suffering from a mysterious illness first goes
missing and then just as suddenly reappears. He is unable to
explain his recovery. His family, supposedly searching for
him, give conflicting accounts of where they were and why.
What is the secret that nearly drove one man mad and turned
his brothers and sister against one another with such
unexpected savagery?
Inspector Ian Rutledge, drawn into both cases and facing a
wall of silence, must solve two mysteries before he can
bring a ruthless killer to justice:
Who was the woman who lived and died behind the red door?
Who was the man who never came home from the Great War,
for the simple reason that he might never have gone? And
what have they to do with a man who cannot break the seal of
his own guilt without damning those he loves most?
