After her soldier husband is seriously injured and her marriage begins
to fall apart, Meredith Cordingley returns to teach at Letchford, the
grand Cotswold private school run by her father, who outwardly appears
to be a typically English headmaster. The setting provides Meredith with
a tranquil refuge from her own heartache until one September afternoon,
when a shocking discovery is made in the history room. The police are
called, but all is not what it seems. Meredith is determined to discover
the culprit and becomes convinced that a manipulative member of staff is
controlling the sinister goings-on at her beloved Letchford, and
exerting a calculating influence on a vulnerable and troubled young
student, but on her journey to untangle the truth Meredith risks her
father's reputation, as well as her own. As the mystery unravels
Meredith comes to discover that there is more than one person at
Letchford School hiding a past filled with complicated secrets. What
follows is a gripping mystery, a tale of war, grief, love and second
chances.
