In a world where England has agreed a peace with Nazi Germany, one small change can carry a huge cost ... Eight years after they overthrew Churchill and led Britain into a separate peace with Hitler, the upper-crust families of the 'Farthing set' gather for a weekend retreat. But idyll becomes nightmare when Sir James Thirkie is found murdered, a yellow Star of David pinned to his chest. When her Jewish husband is framed for the crime, estranged Farthing scion Lucy soon finds herself plunged into a fraught and perilous world in this all-too-believable and dark alternative history.
