There's only one person she can turn to: Effie Dawes, wife of the local police constable. Effie faces tragedy as her husband fights overseas, while scandal threatens to rock Verity's family, but the two friends remain determined in their efforts to discover what really happened on the cliffs An enthralling wartime saga perfect for fans of Lynn Johnson and Francesca Capaldi.
