1 September 1939

As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside, but when a little girl vanishes without trace, it seems that danger can lurk in the quietest village.

In the chaos of war, crime novelist Josephine Tey struggles with the prospect of change. When a cloud of mistrust falls across the small community she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal and events take a sinister turn.

Blending a Golden Age mystery with the timeless fears of a child's abduction, Dear Little Corpses is a haunting snapshot of a country at war, when no one is above suspicion.
