It was the perfect subject for a book. Captain Geoffrey Baines Turner VC, killed in action on the blood-stained French coast near Dunkirk.

And who better than his son to write the story of one man's Dunkirk? So thought David Turner as he started his research, research that would uncover a vipers' nest of half-truths, malicious rumour and blackmail, scaring the reputation of a man revered by some as a hero, branded by others as rapist and cold-blooded murderer.

From the stately sale-room at Sotheby's to the suburbs of Vienna and the grey coast of northern France, Turner resolves to find the truth about his father, unaware that there are others who will do anything to stop him.
