About the book

"London, July 1946. A woman's body is found in a bomb site off the Holloway Road. She is identified as Lillian Frobisher, "a respectable wife and mother" who lived with her family nearby. The police assume that Lillian must have been the victim of a sexual assault; but when the autopsy finds no evidence of rape, they turn their attention to her private life. How did she come to be in the bomb site, a well-known lover's haunt? Why was her husband seemingly unaware that she'd failed to come home on the night she was killed? In this brilliantly plotted murder story, Sian Busby gradually peels away the veneer of stoicism and respectability in post-war austerity Britain to reveal a society fractured by confusion and loss" --Ppublisher's description.
