In this newest installment of the acclaimed New York Times bestselling series, Scotland Yard’s Ian Rutledge is faced with his most perplexing case yet: a murder with no body, and a killer who can only be a ghost.
Spring, 1921. Scotland Yard has sent Inspector Ian Rutledge to the village of Walmer in Essex, a coastal town with a military airfield and Benton Abbey, a grand manor steeped in history.

The secrets of the Abbey and airfield remain tightly guarded until Rutledge's arrival, sparking a new chain of deadly events...
