To get to the bottom of the mystery, Maisie must travel to the battlefields of northern France, where she served as a nurse in the Great War, and where many ghosts still linger. As her investigation moves closer to the truth, Maisie soon uncovers many secrets and lies that some people would clearly prefer stay buried...
