Several elite German divisions were ordered to the St-Lo sector to counter the American threat from Carentan, captured on 12 June. By concentrating their defences twelve miles inland, these German forces halted the US advance before St-Lo, despite costly American attacks in the difficult bocage countryside. The town fell to 29th Infantry Division on 18 July, the decimated American attackers finally taking possession of its cratered landscape in which hardly a building remained standing. Over a month later than planned, St-Lo's occupation opened the way for the Allies' advance to the Seine river and victory in Normandy.

Set in the 1960s, Detective Inspector Neil Webster thought he’d seen it all. Twenty five years of dealing with the lowest forms of criminal life in Manchester was to thank for that. Now he’s surrounded by wild moorland, farmers, hikers and… sheep? He never imagined a single gunshot fired in the hills would lead to a case the likes of which he’d never experienced before. Mystery ensues deep in rural Derbyshire. With limited resources, it’s back to good old fashioned detective work. But will that be enough to solve a crime that has more questions than answers.
