Rufus Moorcroft, a respected widower with a distinguished war record, is found dead in his summerhouse and the death is judged a suicide. Jill Francis and Richard Thornhill independently find evidence that the explanation is incomplete and that the key lies in a charged summer before the Second World War.

The trail leads through an asylum, an artistic household and the recollections of people who have spent years reshaping the past. Thornhill is forced to recognise that his wife Edith is connected to the events of 1938, placing the investigation inside his own marriage.
