Marnie Walker is surprised, even astonished, to learn the
identity of the new man who has come to live in Knightly St
John. He is probably the most eminent person ever to have set
foot in the village. And he brings with him a strikingly
beautiful great niece, though some in the community have doubts
about their relationship. His arrival begs the question, why
would such a man with such a history choose to move to this part
of England?
Doubts grow when it gradually becomes apparent that the newcomer for
all his greatness and charm has a past, and before long it
starts to catch up with him. Soon, Marnie and everyone in the
village get caught up in events that threaten the security of
their peaceful world. When tragedy strikes, no one can be safe,
as old conflicts come back to cast their shadow over the living
and the dead.
