The Nightingale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781910603802)

Returning from his honeymoon at the beginning of 1940, Detective Inspector Rufus Stone is looking forward to settling down to married life with his new bride.

The very last thing he needs is to walk straight back into a murder investigation...

But when the body of a young woman is found in the churchyard of a nearby village, he finds himself in the midst of a particularly harrowing case, shrouded in mystery and secrets.

Doing his best to juggle his personal and professional lives, Stone quickly establishes the identity of the killer - at least in his own mind - leaving him with just one problem...

A complete absence of any evidence.

Are Stone's suspicions correct though, and more importantly, will he be able to prove them, before the guilty party escapes?

The Nightingale is the fourth in K. J. Frost's Second World War detective stories, with a romantic twist, which ideally should be read in order.
