The nearby village of Slewford hosts a top-secret military intelligence operation, home to high-ranking German POWs, and so the crash is a matter of national security. Billy is assigned by the commander of the POW facility to investigate. After the plane is discovered, a local villager is murdered--and suddenly what had appeared to be a failed enemy military operation takes on an even more sinister aspect. All Billy's ex-Boston cop instincts are put to the test as he interviews the grieving, angry, and conniving citizens of this idyllic English country village in search of the truth.","brand":"James R Benn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46358546153708,"sku":"9781641295994","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781641295994.jpg?v=1744409915","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/proud-sorrows","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
