Book description
Summer, 1976. A plane crashes on a farm in the Cambridgeshire fens.
Out of the flames walks young Maggie Beck, clutching a baby in her arms.
Twenty-seven years later, investigative journalist Philip Dryden -
visiting his wife, Laura, in hospital - is witness to Maggie's
deathbed confession. But some secrets are best kept secret, and what
started out for Dryden as a small and curious story about the only
survivor of an almost-forgotten plane crash soon escalates into a
full-blown murder investigation. And while Dryden is wondering what
other secrets Maggie carried, his semi-conscious wife is trying to
tell him something that might just save his life...
