When battlefield nurse Bess Crawford returns from France for a
well-earned Christmas leave, she finds a bruised and shivering
woman huddled in the doorway of her London residence. The woman has
nowhere to turn, and, propelled by a firm sense of duty, Bess takes
her in. Once inside Bess's flat the woman reveals that a quarrel
with her husband erupted into violence, yet she wants to go
home--if Bess will come with her to Sussex.
What Bess finds at Vixen Hill is a house of mourning. The
woman's family has gathered for a memorial service for the elder
son who has died of war wounds. Her husband, home on compassionate
leave, is tense, tormented by jealousy and his own guilty
conscience. Then, when a troubled house guest is found dead, Bess
herself becomes a prime suspect in the case. This murder will lead
her to a dangerous quest in war-torn France, an unexpected ally,
and a startling revelation that puts her in jeopardy before a
vicious killer can be exposed.
