An ingenious thriller. A hot summer dries out an artificial lake which swallowed up a Yorkshire village. The remains of a murdered woman are discovered under the ruins of an outhouse. The police are called in and the story is told by the inspector investigating and the sister of the victim, the latter with vivid descriptions of London after the Blitz and life in wartime England.
