"The post-war dream has worked well for the McCarthy family, especially Madeleine, the high-spirited eight year old daughter. The family's posting to a quiet Canadian air force base is an adventure for her, secure as she is in the love of her beautiful mother and unaware that her father, a wing commander, is caught up in a web of secrets.
The early 1960's, with its excitement of the space race overshadowed by the menace of the cold war, is filtered through Madeleine's fertile imagination as she draws us into her world. But when a local murder strikes at their new home, the McCarthy's lives are changed forever, and Madeleine learns about the ambiguity of human morality - a lesson that will only become clear when the quest for the truth, and the killer, is renewed twenty years later."
