Description: Annie Young's forte is tech writing and historical research. But with disconcerting frequency, as she travels for projects around the world she finds herself in the middle of murder investigations. American-born Annie thinks she's landed an easy assignment translating a book about the small northern German island of Insel Poel. Then she stumbles upon the bodies of two young Asian women, washed ashore from who knows where. Despite the protestations of her fiance, ́ a police chief in southern France, Annie gets steadily more involved in the puzzling case and discovers the stories of a WWII concentration camp survivor, an RAF pilot and a vicar's daughter, each with a unique historical connection to the beach at Insel Poel. When Annie gets too close to the truth, behind the murders, she becomes the next target.
