Inspector Henry Tibbett's better half, wife Emmy, takes center stage in a WWII mystery. "The classical whodunnit remains safe in Miss Moyes' hands." —The Sun

To date, Emmy Tibbett has been something of a secondary character—a placid, pleasantly plump presence who serves mostly to make her detective-husband Henry all the more likeable. With Johnny, however, Emmy at last gets a turn in the spotlight, as she and Henry head off for the 20th reunion of her Royal Air Force squad. It's a bittersweet trip for Emmy: She loved her work with the RAF, and she was in love with one of the pilots, but their happiness ended abruptly when he killed himself, crashing his plane into the North Sea.

But was it suicide? At the reunion, Emmy is startled to realize that she may have been the last person to see her sweetheart alive. And she's more than startled to discover that virtually everyone connected with that fatal flight had something to hide.
