Synopsis

Philomena Bligh's fiance, Dan, has been shot. The First World War claimed many lives and so his death is not, in its own way, surprising. But Dan was shot in the minutes after the Armistice. The war was over. She cannot understand how this could have happened, or why they were still fighting that morning anyway. So, in March 1919, over Dan's birthday, Philomena travels to London to meet the men with him when he died. What she discovers is more shocking than she'd ever imagined. Dan's best friend, Jonathan, tells her that Dan was shot by a British officer over a gambling debt. There is no proof and all records of Jonathan's accusation have been destroyed. Refusing to accept anything less than justice for the man she loved, Philomena decides to take on the Establishment. Worried that she may cause his own downfall and feeling guilty for his mysterious part in Dan's death, Jonathan decides to accompany her on her mission. Set against a backdrop of London in the aftermath of the Great War, a time of upheaval, grief and wanton escapism, this is not just an inspirational book about what it means to be a hero, but also a breathtaking love story.

From the Back Cover

11am, 11th November 1918. The Armistice begins and 2nd Lieutenant Daniel Case, Philomena Bligh's fiancé, is killed on the battlefields of France.
Months later, Philomena ventures to London to meet the men who were with Dan when he died. His best friend Jonathan Priest, tells her that he believes Dan was murdered. But he has no proof, and the accused comes from a powerful Establishment family whose lawyers have threatened him with ruin should he ever repeat his story.
Jonathan has returned to work as a barrister, but has increasingly found himself unable to cope with the miscarriages of justice he believes he allowed to take place. Philomena's shock and outrage send her on an investigation that will take her down the elegant avenues and seedy alleys of the capital, from cafés where single women eat alone to nightclubs where everyone looks for escape beyond conventions and the law.
Fearing she will betray him, Jonathan joins Philomena but soon finds himself becoming inexorably drawn to her, until he's forced to tell her his own part in Dan's death...
