She's convinced that he can't be dead so she does her best to keep it secret as she and her boss, the brilliant but sometimes irritable Professor James Lomax are drawn into an attempt to avoid a massive raid on her home town of Poole.

What can this have to do with her husband vanishing in Tobruk? And can old friends and new help her solve the mystery of Robert's disappearance while she plays her part to divert the enemy? Most of all, will she ever see her husband again? And can she keep up the charade when it feels as if her world has collapsed?
