It is early summer 1917. Bess Crawford has returned to England from 
the trenches of France with a convoy of severely wounded men. One of
 her patients is a young pilot who has been burned beyond recognition,
 and who clings to life and the photo of his wife pinned to his tunic.
While passing through a London train station, Bess notices a woman bidding
 an emotional farewell to an officer, her grief heart-wrenching. And then 
Bess realizes that she seems familiar. In fact, she's the woman in the pilot's
 photo, but the man she is seeing off is not her husband.
Back on duty in France, Bess discovers a newspaper with a drawing of the woman
's face on the front page. Accompanying the drawing is a plea from Scotland
 Yard seeking information from anyone who has seen her. For it appears that
 the woman was murdered on the very day Bess encountered her at the station.
Granted leave to speak with Scotland Yard, Bess becomes entangled in the case.
 Though an arrest is made, she must delve into the depths of her very soul to 
decide if the police will hang an innocent man or a vicious killer. Exposing 
the truth is dangerous—and will put her own life on the line
