Book description
The evacuation of Philip Masson's body near Mrs Griffin's cottage
resurrects several old ghosts that send the newshounds scurrying to dig
in their clippings archives. Rumours, matured with the passing years
since Masson's 'disappearance' way back in 1978, once more abound.
But the investigative team of Ian Robinson and Jenny Fielding are
already on a trail of discovery that leads back to the end of the
Wilson/Callaghan era. Jenny has overheard a snatch of gossip at an
embassy party which seems to implicate British Intelligence's David
Audley in the original cover-up of Masson's death . . . and Jenny has
a personal interest in that affair.
But it is not until the labyrinthine trails come together on a
Spanish battlefield that Jenny learns why it is that Philip Masson had
to die....
