Description

1 September, 1939. As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside. But when two little girls step off the train to ‘safety’ only to go missing in less than forty-eight hours, the reality of separation becomes more urgent and more deadly for the families they left behind in the city. In the chaos and uncertainty of war, Golden Age crime author Josephine Tey struggles with the prospect of change. As a cloud of suspicion falls across the small Suffolk village she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal, and events take a dark and sinister turn. *Dear Little Corpses* is a journey into fear as evacuated children flee from the dangers of the Blitz to find themselves facing the terror of abduction.
