Sinossi

There’s little chance for R & R during World War II when you have the reputation of British sleuth Patrick Dawlish.   A Hampshire country inn seems the perfect place to unwind for Captain Patrick Dawlish and his fiancée, Felicity, as World War II rages on. But all play and no work make Dawlish a bored man. Luckily for him, he’s never been able to dodge trouble when foul play is afoot . . .   A man as big as Dawlish rarely goes unnoticed, which appears to be the case when he senses someone watching him. That man is soon murdered by someone wearing Dawlish’s stolen uniform. Instead of a peaceful week away from the Home Defence Army, Dawlish finds himself the prime suspect in a murder. What better way to keep him from investigating what’s really going on? To make matters even more complicated, there’s a guest at the inn under suspicion for being a spy—with ties to Nazi Germany . . .

    It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. 
    She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news. 
    The woman walked out to the car park, towards an old Corolla. For a moment, she held the child gently against her breast and, with her eyes closed, she smelled her. She then clipped the infant into the car, got in and drove off. 
    That is where the footage ends. It isn't where the story ends, however. It's not even where the story starts.
