From the author of The Daffodil Sea comes this post-war saga of love and loss Corporal Reith Douglas loses his memory after sustaining a head injury. Desperate to recover his past, he little realises that things are never quite what they seem.
The first message sent to Tom Thorne's phone was just a picture - the blurred image of a man's face, but Thorne had seen enough dead bodies to know that the man was no longer alive. But who was he? Who sent the photograph? And why? While the technical experts attempt to trace the sender, Thorne searches the bulletins for a reported death that matches the photograph. Then another picture arrives.
