""If anyone can turn a simple village mystery into a brooding Greek tragedy, it's Charles Todd. . . . Todd handles grave issues with great compassion""-The New York Times Book Review

In a marshy Norfolk backwater, a priest is brutallymurdered after giving a dying man last rites.

For Scotland Yard's Ian Rutledge, an ex-officer still recovering from the trauma of war, it looks to be asimple case. Yet the Inspector finds himself uncovering secrets that the local authorities would prefer not to see explored. Rutledge pares away layers of deceptionto piece together a chain of events that stretches from the brooding marshes to one of the greatest sea disasters in history-the sinking of the Titanic. Who is themysterious woman who may have boarded that ship-and who is the secretive woman who survived it? Only Rutledge can answer those questions . . . and preventa killer who'll stop at nothing from striking again.
