She is devastated that this will mean missing spending time with her mother, whom she hasn't seen in many years - not since Yvonne's father took his own life. Why was the young soldier killed? And is her murder related to several alleged suicides at her army base? D.I. Giles thinks it is, and that someone powerful has a dark secret they will do anything to hide. A dark and disturbing, conspiracy crime noir set in an army base in Wales.
