In 1888, young constable Alan Heath comes across the murdered body of an Earl's daughter, Lady Patience. A cover-up leads to an innocent man being hanged. But Heath won't let it go. His gentle demeanor hides a cunning mind, and as he rises through the ranks as Scotland Yard's finest detective, he never forgets his promise to find the true killer, traveling to colonial India and to Germany in the last days of World War I to uncover long-hidden clues. On the cusp of retirement, after 35 years, he solves the case. But Patience's noble family has changed, and so has England. Heath must think long and hard about what to reveal--and to whom. I hope to publish this someday!
