Beschreibung

A string of murders tangles up British detective Patrick Dawlish in an intricate web of deception in this riveting World War II–era mystery. 
 
Notified by his wife, Felicity, of the killing of an Auxiliary Territorial Service girl, intelligence officer Patrick Dawlish is reminded of a similar murder of another ATS woman two months earlier. Her suspected killer is in prison awaiting trial. Both victims sport similar tattoos: a five-point star with a circle in the middle. Something is amiss.  
 
When a lieutenant is shot on the same day, Dawlish is unable to curb his curiosity and is given leave to take on the case. With a possibly innocent man imprisoned, time is of the essence. What Dawlish doesn’t know is that a brilliant mastermind is behind the scenes pulling strings, and the man behind bars isn’t his only puppet. Dawlish’s good reputation is known far and wide but it’s about to be used against him, putting in danger those closest to him . . .

    A long shadow looms above the wife of filmmaker Carlton Markham. Then a hand clamps over her mouth, and a blade sinks into her back. Blood splatters on the film reel case beside her, and a young life is cut short. Lawyer Matthew Hope gets a call from Markham, who's been arrested for his wife's murder, but he says he didn't do it. Witnesses fly forward to proclaim his guilt, but Markham's not giving up on his innocence that easily. And when Hope digs deeper into the victim's business— from heavy financial backers to sleazy egomaniacs— he finds she may not have been the perfect lady that she seemed. Now Matthew needs to infiltrate the seedy side of the film industry to find a missing reel and solve the murder.
