(<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) <p/>A dead woman and two missing children bring Inspector Rutledge to the lovely Dorset town of Singleton Magna, where the truth lies buried with the dead. A tormented veteran whose family died in an enemy bombing is the chief suspect. Dubious, Rutledge presses on to find the real killer. And when another body is found in the rich Dorset earth, his quest reaches into the secret lives of villagers and Londoners whose privileged positions and private passions give them every reason to thwart him. Someone is protecting a murderer. And two children are out there, somewhere, in the dark....</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Todd's Ian Rutledge mysteries are among the most intelligent and affective being written these days." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"Evocative...An absorbing mystery." --<i>The Orlando Sentinel</i> <p/>"[A] profound and insightful rendering of a Britain between the wars." --<i>The Hartford Courant</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charles Todd</b> lives on America's East Coast, but he knows England well.
