A horrific explosion at a gunpowder mill sends Bess Crawford
to war-torn France to keep a deadly pattern of lies from
leading to more deaths, in this compelling and atmospheric
mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of A
Question of Honor and An Unwilling Accomplice.
An explosion and fire at the Ashton Gunpowder Mill in Kent
has killed over a hundred men. It’s called an appalling
tragedy—until suspicion and rumor raise the specter of
murder. While visiting the Ashton family, Bess Crawford
finds herself caught up in a venomous show of hostility that
doesn’t stop with Philip Ashton’s arrest. Indeed, someone is
out for blood, and the household is all but under siege.
The only known witness to the tragedy is now at the Front in
France. Bess is asked to find him. When she does, he refuses
to tell her anything that will help the Ashtons. Realizing
that he believes the tissue of lies that has nearly
destroyed a family, Bess must convince him to tell her what
really happened that terrible Sunday morning. But now
someone else is also searching for this man.
To end the vicious persecution of the Ashtons, Bess must
risk her own life to protect her reluctant witness from a
clever killer intent on preventing either of them from ever
reaching England.
