When archaeologist Neil Watson find the body of an American veteran of the D-Day landings in the ruins of an old chapel, he turns to his old friend DS Wesley for help.
Ironically, both men are researching an invading force: Wesley, a group of American veterans on a sentimental journey to their wartime base; and Neil, a group of Spaniards, slaughtered by outraged locals as they limped back from the wreckage of the Armada.
Four hundred years apart, two strangers in a strange land have died violently. Could the same motives of hatred, jealousy and revenge be at work? Wesley is running out of time to find out…
