| 內容簡介： |
When former infantry officer Laurence Bartram is called to the
small village of Easton Deadall, he is struck by the beauty of the
place: a crumbling stately home; a centuries-old church; and a
recently planted maze, a memorial to the men of the village, almost
all of whom died in one heroic battle in 1916. But it soon becomes
clear to Laurence that while rest of the country is alight with
hope for the first time since the end of the War, as the first
Labour government takes power, the Wiltshire village is haunted by
its tragic past. In 1911, five-year-old Kitty Easton disappeared
from her bed and has not been seen since: only her fragile mother
believes still she is alive. When a family trip to the Empire
Exhibition in London ends in disaster and things take an
increasingly sinister turn, Laurence struggles to find out what has
happened as it seems that the fate of the house, the men and of
Kitty herself may be part of a much longer, darker story of love,
betrayal - and violence.
