1916. As thousands of Brits are fighting on the Front Line, a new breed of women emerges to hold the Home Front together. Fiercely independent and fiery-spirited, the munitionettes, or 'canaries', are easily recognisable with their chemically-stained yellow faces. Among the raucous group of women is Florrie Duncan, who plans to celebrate her birthday in style at the Golden Goose pub. But the celebrations are cut short when all but one are killed in a brutal explosion.
'Cleverly plotted, well written and invoking the atmosphere of the time, I heartily recommend this book as an excellent read.' 'The past is brought to life with brilliant colours, combined with a perfect whodunnit. Who needs more?' The Guardian 'Historical crime fiction is not easy to write... Edward Marston is the expert' Bolton News 'A new and baffling adventure for the Home Front Detective, set in a vividly imagined period of wartime upheaval and uncertainty' GOOD BOOK GUIDE
