1916. As thousands of Brits are fighting on the Front Line, a new
breed of women emerges to hold the Home Front together. Fiercely
independent and fiery-spirited, the munitionettes, or 'canaries',
are easily recognizable with their chemically-stained yellow
faces.Among the raucous group of women is Florrie Duncan, who plans
to celebrate her birthday in style at the Golden Goose pub. But the
celebrations are cut short when all but one are killed in a brutal
explosion. Scotland Yard suggests it's the work of a German spy but
Detective Inspector Harvey Marnion and Sergeant Joe Keedy remain
unconvinced, believing something more complex and sinister to be at
work. With five times the victims there are five times the motives
for murder.As the pair begins to piece together the lives of the
women, they unearth a tension simmering between many of the locals
and the canaries. The dark days of the war has left everyone on
edge and suspicion is rife. From marital dysfunction to a failed
bomb plot, it seems everyone in the small town of Hayes has a
motive, so Marmion and Keedy must work fast to uncover the
murderer. Before more canaries are turned to dust.
