Colonel Douglas Frobisher VC (retired) lives an idyllic life in an affluent community in the North West of England, and is a much respected member of the local golf club. A series of events lead to the revelation of an historic and shocking deception that shatters his cosy existence and leads him on a trail through his past to discover the real truth that has defined his life. The primary themes revolve around naivety and experience, duty and self-interest, trust and betrayal and an underlying thesis of establishment conspiracy, cover-up and deceit. The deeper narrative, though, concerns much more than just institutional corruption, and goes to a very human level of self-discovery and the tortuous quest for redemption, the delivery of which is never guaranteed.
