London. July 1946. A woman's body is found in a disused bomb site off the Holloway Road. She is identified as Lillian Frobisher, " a respectable wife and mother" who lived with her family nearby. The police assume that Lillian must have been the victim of a sexual assault; but when the autopsy finds no evidence of rape, they turn their attention to her private life... How did she come to be in the bomb site, a well-known lovers'haunt ? Whay was her husband seemingly unaware that she'd failed to come home on the night she was killed ? In this deeply evocative crime drama, Siân Busby strips away the veneer of stoicism and respectability in post-war Britain to reveal a society riven with disillusionment and loss.
