With My Last Breath

1919, London.

WW1 has ended. Eighteen months ago Emilia’s journalist husband, Owen Flett, who was on assignment on the Western Front, was reported missing presumed dead.

When she is drawn into attending a seance by medium Anna Ward, Emilia meets the mysterious Dr McIvor. He claims he can bring Owen back to her. Although Emilia does not accept such a thing is possible, she wants so desperately to believe it that she agrees. And then Owen returns.

Surely the timing was a coincidence, and there must be a logical explanation. At first just having him back is enough, but as her joy recedes Emilia grows more and more puzzled by Owen’s behaviour. Why is he so different from the man she knew before? Could the changes be explained by his experiences during the war, or is it something more sinister?

Something she can barely bring herself to believe.
