No shred of evidence Charles Todd.
In Cornwall, four women out boating see a man in another boat that appears to be sinking. In the rescue, Harry Saunders is gravely injured, and a witness accuses the women of attempted murder. They are placed under house arrest, and a very reluctant Ian Rutledge is sent to Padstow, where he is informed that the investigation is closed. With the victim in a coma, there is no one to refute the witness. Rutledge's inquiry takes an unexpected personal turn when he discovers that one of the accused is none other than the cousin of the woman he had intended to marry in 1914. And then another person is savagely attacked--but with the suspects in custody, why hasn't the killing stopped? Rutledge will require all his skill to deal with the families of those involved, the local police, and his own painful memories, if he is to find a killer who may--or may not--hold the key to their fate. -- Page [4] of cover.
