The presence of DCI Harry Nelson, the married father of her daughter, does not help. The bones, six men with their arms bound, date back to World War II, a desperate time on this stretch of coastline. <p/> As Ruth and Nelson investigate, Home Guard veteran Archie Whitcliffe reveals a secret the old soldiers had vowed to protect with their lives. But then Archie is killed and a German journalist arrives, asking questions about Operation Lucifer, a plan to stop a German invasion, and a possible British war crime. What was Operation Lucifer? And who is prepared to kill to keep its secret?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>PRAISE FOR ELLY GRIFFITHS AND THE RUTH GALLOWAY SERIES <br><b>Winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award <br> Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award</b> <p/> "Galloway is an everywoman, smart, successful and a little bit unsure of herself.
