The fighting has ended, the Armistice is signed, but the war has left wounds that are still agonizingly raw. Battlefield Nurse Bess Crawford has been assigned to a clinic for amputees. She does her best to help them, but it's clear that their wounds go deeper than the physical. When they're released, she fears that peace will do what war couldn't?take their lives. Their officer, Captain Williams, soon writes to describe their despair, as well as his own. Compelled to look into their situation, Bess takes leave and quietly travels to Wales, but she is too late. Captain Williams has left the valley. Fearing the worst, she follows him to an isolated, storm-battered peninsula?a harsh and forgotten place where secrets and death go hand in hand. She quickly discovers these villagers are hiding something, and she's learned too much to be allowed to leave. What's more, there is a murderer here who is driven to kill again. And the next person in his sights is her friend, Simon Brandon, searching for Bess and unaware of his danger. . . .
