Unfortunately Billy's leave is cut short when a crashed German bomber resurfaces off the coast with the corpse of a British officer in the pilot seat. The nearby village of Slewford hosts a top - secret military intelligence operation home to high - ranking German PO Ws and so the crash is a matter of national security. Billy is assigned by the commander of the POW facility to investigate. After the plane is discovered a local villager is murdered - and suddenly what had appeared to be a failed enemy military operation takes on an even more sinister aspect. All Billy's ex - Boston cop instincts are put to the test as he interviews the grieving angry and conniving citizens of this idyllic English country village in search of the truth.
