British detective Patrick Dawlish must find two men who can turn the tide of World War II in this breathtaking mystery from the author of Death in Flames.   After solving several sensational cases—and building a stellar reputation—it’s become clear to Intelligence Officer Patrick Dawlish that he doesn’t have to look for trouble for it to find him. Enter Amelia Shortt, the attractive and cunning daughter of a brilliant doctor who’s making strides in helping World War II survivors with shell shock. Amelia thinks she’s convinced Dawlish that someone is blackmailing her father, but Dawlish can’t be manipulated that easily . . .   He decides to play her game, but when she disappears, her father is kidnapped, and a murdered servant is left in their wake, Dawlish soon realizes he’s being drawn into a case with the highest of stakes. One of the doctor’s patients holds national security secrets in his shattered mind—and Dawlish finds himself in a deadly race against England’s enemies to find him . . .

    Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder … 
     
    Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky. 
     
    The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying. 
     
    Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
