When amateur sleuth Augusta Peel receives a mysterious letter about a missing young woman, she can't resist helping with the search. But the case takes a turn when an art student is found dead in a Bloomsbury square.

Could the murder have something to do with Augusta's investigation? The more questions she asks, the fewer answers she receives.

Someone's hiding something. Has Augusta really got the time to discover what it is? She's supposed to be running her new venture – a second-hand bookshop in Bloomsbury. Fortunately, her wartime spy colleague, Detective Inspector Philip Fisher of Scotland Yard, is on hand to help.

A second murder piles on the pressure. For as long as secrets remain buried, young women are in danger.
