Forty-one-year-old "Miss White," as Elinor White lives quietly and privately in Shacklehurst, a village in Kent, England. The residents have no way of knowing how dangerous Elinor's war work had been, or how deeply their mysterious neighbor continues to be haunted by her past. Susie, the child of farmworker Jim Mackie and his wife, Rose, breaks through her ice demeanor. But Jim has something in common with Elinor: he, too, is desperate to escape his past. When the powerful Mackie crime family demands a return of their prodigal son for an important job, Elinor assumes the task of protecting her neighbors. -- adapted from Goodreads info
