Sequel to The Fog of War
Village nurse Walter Kennett is content with his makeshift found-family in tiny Bradfield. However, one midsummer morning a body is found floating in the village duck pond, dead by magical means.
Detective Simon Frost arrives in Bradfield to investigate an inexplicable murder. The evidence seems to point to Lucille Hall-Bridges, who lives with Doctor Sylvia Marks and Walter Kennett at Courtfield House. Simon isn't happy — he doesn't believe Lucy is a murderer, but he's sure the three of them are hiding something. In the meantime, the draw he feels toward Walter takes him by surprise.
Walter is in a dilemma, concealing Sylvia and Lucy's relationship and not knowing how much to tell Frost about the paranormal possibilities of the murder. He isn't interested in going to bed with anyone — he's got a complicated life and has to know someone really well before he falls between the sheets. He's taken aback by his own attraction to Detective Frost and is angry when Frost appears to twist the spark between them to something transactional in nature.
Will Walter be satisfied to stay on the periphery of Lucy and Sylvia's love affair, a welcome friend but never quite included? Or is it time for him to strike out and embark on a relationship of his own?
