About this ebook
Ireland 1945. Florence Kite finds letters and a newspaper cutting of a badly injured man in her late mother's handbag. And her whole world crumbles. The man, Marcus Fanning, is receiving a medal for bravery, and an engraved cigarette case.
Florence Kite has never heard of Marcus Fanning. But the letters disclose a terrible secret. Marcus Fanning was her real father. Confused and distraught, Florence goes looking for him. But twenty-five years ago Marcus Fanning vanished off the face of the earth. Then Florence sees the cigarette case in a pawn shop window. A young lad Frankie Rowe found it in the attic of an old farmhouse. There was something else there too, and Frankie was going back to get it when the coast was clear. They found Frankie's body in a ditch the next day.
