Shortlisted for the Edgar Award for Best Novel (1988).

During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Somerset made friends with the locals, especially with the local girls. After one apple harvest, a human skull is found in a cider barrel. Nine-year-old Theo Singer was a principal witness for the prosecution. In 1964 Dr. Theo Singer is approached by a girl called Alice, the daughter of the US serviceman hanged for the murder in 1945. He reluctantly investigates the mysterious details that led to a twenty-year-old murder conviction, and the horrors of the past take on a frightening immediacy when another murder is committed.
