Some truths can't be left buried.
The second world war may be over, but for Leslie Cadmore the scars remain. His beloved dog died, there's a rift between him and his lover Patrick, and his father inexplicably abandoned the family for life in a monastery. Fate's been cruel.
A chance meeting with Patrick's sister stirs old memories, and Leslie starts to dig into both his father's motives and long-unanswered questions around the death of Fergus Jackson. The worst of a group of disreputable pre-war friends, Fergus was a manipulative rake who allegedly fell on his own knife in a training accident. An accident for which Patrick was apparently the only witness.
Leslie's persuaded to meet Patrick again, and the pair easily fall back into their old dynamic. They uncover connection after surprising connection between their hedonistic old friends and not only Fergus's murder, but Mr. Cadmore's abrupt departure. As their investigation deepens, Leslie and Patrick's bond deepens too. But no reconciliation can occur until Leslie knows for sure that his erstwhile lover wasn't Fergus's killer.
