Returning home to Suffolk due to his mother’s sudden illness, Jones finds himself entangled in a shadowy conspiracy that links the tragic deaths of two individuals at Belfast’s notorious Ashton Tower to a wider network of espionage and military secrets. We learn more about Sir Charles and Virginia Curry, meet Jones’ family and explore the darkest memories of Northern Ireland in the 1940s. 

At the heart of the investigation is Edward O’Callaghan, a former Irish rebel with deep ties to both the IRB and British intelligence, whose wartime connections might hold the key to understanding the deaths of the O’Dowds—two people who were far more than they seemed. 

As Jones, Jenny and McNally delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a web of deceit, betrayal, and long-buried history that stretches back to the darkest days of World War II. 

Can Jones unravel the truth before those who wish to bury it succeed?
