Kent, 1947. Elinor White lives quietly in a grace-and-favour cottage after intelligence service in two wars, concealing the training and violence that still govern her daily habits. She becomes involved with neighbouring farmworker Jim Mackie, his wife Rose and their daughter when Jim’s powerful London crime family attempts to force him back into its organisation.
Protecting the family draws Elinor into corruption reaching from organised crime toward Scotland Yard and government. Her present investigation is interwoven with childhood resistance work in German-occupied Belgium and later operations against the Nazis, revealing how successive services to the state created the skills she needs while leaving her unable to believe that peace can be permanent.
