What first appears to be another consequence of wartime destruction becomes a murder case when closer examination exposes details that cannot be explained by the bombing. Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan must investigate a death concealed by the passage of years, including the troubling discovery of an unborn child. Catherine Aird uses the dramatic unearthing of the past to build a traditional crime puzzle, challenging Sloan to recover evidence and motives from a time when someone believed the destruction had provided a permanent hiding place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647260917972,"sku":"TVJ-033686","price":11.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-033686-1.jpg?v=1791322927","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-033686","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
