London is shuddering from bombing raids, Britain is frozen in anticipation of a German invasion, and Lord Westerham's estate is peaceful. But one day the war breaks into this idyll: not far from Farley's estate they find the body of a parachutist - surely a cross-dressing spy - who was clearly on his way to visit one of the locals. In his pocket, they find a mysterious photo card, with an ordinary rural landscape, which may well be a coded message. Ben Creswell, the son of the local vicar, is sent to the estate. For a young man it is also an opportunity to be close to Pamela Westerham, in whom he has been secretly in love since childhood. But in the old manor house there are enough secrets and besides the dead parachutist. Pamela also has a secret - since the beginning of the war, she secretly from the family serves in Bletchley Park, the famous cipher center of Britain. Ben and Pamela will have to find out the secret of the photo and find a stranger among their own. This Edgar Poe Award-winning detective novel is based on a true story - during the war, some of the British aristocracy tried to bring Edward VIII, known for his sympathy for the Nazis, to power.
