May 1945

Set against the last 6 days of the war on the Home Front, Hastings is preparing itself for victory celebrations. For Foyle, it means retirement and hopefully the return of his son, Andrew, from the war; for Sam a new and uncertain future; for Milner a promotion at another police station down the coast and a new baby. Until the announcement, however, there's still work to be done.

Foyle is enlisted as the police representative for the council's Victory Day Celebrations Committee. Worried about a break down in public order, the council have collected together the great and the good of the town to see how best to manage what is anticipated as the biggest street party of all time.

Foyle is surprised to see his old friend Major John Kiefer on the committee - there representing the American forces stationed in Hastings. It's been over 2 years since these two friends met and Foyle recognises that his friend has been dramatically changed by his wartime experiences. For Kiefer, who just wants to go home, the end of the war can't come soon enough. But when one of the committee members is murdered, no one is going anywhere. All the evidence points to a fellow committee member being the guilty party and, in his quest to solve his final case, Foyle must dig into one of the dirtiest secrets of the war and uncover truths the Allies would rather remain hidden.
