December, 1942.
When Grace Phillips dies in what appears to be an accident at a local munitions works, Foyle is asked by one of her co-workers, who is deeply disturbed by the event, to look into her death. Grace had always been such a cheerful girl but recently something had been bothering her and a few days before she died she had mentioned being worried about stealing.
Entering the world of munitions work, where nearly fifty percent of workers are women, Foyle initially believes Grace’s death is purely an industrial accident – a tragedy but not a murder.
However, when another woman is found brutally murdered in the town, Foyle establishes a link between the two women and starts to believe the deaths are connected. To make matters even more difficult for Foyle, the second victim is Milner’s wife, Jane, who had walked out on Milner more than two years earlier. Jane seems to have returned to Hastings with the hope of being reunited with her husband, not knowing that he is now romantically involved with another woman.
Milner finds himself centre stage in Foyle’s investigation – Milner wanted his wife, Jane, out of his life and he can neither produce an alibi for the time of her death nor explain how his wife’s blood has been found on his clothes.
With everything pointing to Milner’s guilt, Foyle and Sam have to work overtime to find out how Jane and Grace are connected, to catch their killer and to prove Milner’s innocence.
