Father Christian Lound has been missing since 1917, no one knows what became of him, only that before he vanished he was accused of treachery. Emily Priggins can't leave the mystery of her brother's disappearance alone, despite her father's violent warnings not to push for answers. After years of wondering, she finally seeks out Clara Fitzgerald, Brighton's first female private detective, and asks her to discover the truth.

Clara is faced with a baffling set of circumstances as she tries to learn what really happened to Father Lound and whether he did betray his King and country. To solve the riddle, Clara must go to Belgium where Father Lound was working and where he vanished during the Great War. Her brother Tommy insists on accompanying her, hoping to fight the demons that have plagued him since the conflict, but being back on the Continent stirs up unwelcome memories and nearly pushes him over the brink. And then there are the mysterious bones - do they belong to Father Lound or did someone else die that fateful day in 1917? Could they really be the bones of a traitor?
