Description: An explosion and fire at the Ashton Gunpowder Mill in Kent has killed over a hundred men. It's called an appalling tragedy; until suspicion and rumor raise the specter of murder. While visiting the Ashton family, Bess Crawford finds herself caught up in a venomous show of hostility that doesn't stop with Philip Ashton's arrest. Indeed, someone is out for blood, and the household is all but under siege.

Review Quotes:
"As always, the Todds deftly juggle clues and red herrings, leading Bess and readers on a brisk chase...Their intimate knowledge of rural England and the Great War period inject Bess' first-person account with a hefty dose of verisimilitude."
