With Richard by her side, she must find out if Simonetta is still alive, and clear her own name. But how did the brooch end up at the house? And with a traitor hiding in the village, willing to do anything to keep this secret buried, has Fosca put herself and her young son in terrible danger?An absolutely gripping and heartbreaking page-turner that explores the incredible courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
