Valentine's Day, 1926.When Posie Parker, London's premier female Detective, accidently runs into an old family acquaintance, she is persuaded to leave town immediately and return to the place of her childhood roots - the beautiful and bleak Norfolk coast - to investigate a closed-room murder mystery which local police believe has a forgone conclusion. But have the police got it right? Posie must race against the clock as the Murder Trial is scheduled to begin in just two days' time.A women's right activist, the courageous Girvan Briskow, will almost certainly face the gallows if she is convicted of her wealthy father-in-laws murder. Both the murder victim and the chief suspect are already known to Posie from years before, but Posie needs to push aside old hostilities in order to get at the truth. But is the truth too much, and too dark, for her to bear?And is she just imagining it, or is Posie’s presence resented in Norfolk? Is she in danger, here? And why has Richard Lovelace, Posie’s husband and the Chief Commissioner of New Scotland Yard, started acting strangely?
