    England 1923 and the Great War still casts a dark shadow over the lives of ordinary people.
     
    Grieving widow, Helen Morrow, has come to England from Australia seeking answers to her questions about her husband's death at Passchendaele in 1917.
    The only person who can tell her what happened is Charlie's cousin, the reclusive Paul Morrow but, haunted by his own ghosts and badly wounded in the same action, he cannot recall the events the events of that fateful night.
    The discovery of a coded diary stirs desperate spirits in the house, forcing Helen and Paul on a quest to solve the mysterious disappearance of a young woman, two hundred years earlier.
    Thrown together in their search to resolve the mystery of Suzanna's disappearance, Paul's memory of that night in 1917 begins to return bringing with it all the horror of the trenches that he has tried to put behind him.
    In their search for answers and reconciliation, Paul and Helen come up against forces from the past and present determined to keep them apart.
    Will they find the strength to face their adversaries and find peace and happiness together?

    If you love haunting historical romances with a touch of mystery this is the book for you:-)
