The Derbyshire village of Wenfield is still reeling from four years of war.

When two more women are found murdered in identical circumstances, Wenfield is thrown into a panic.

Book Description
This paperback picture book with photographs of the mourning dove is ideal for ages 4-8. Photographs illustrate a nesting pair choosing a good spot for the nest, laying two eggs, sitting on the nest, and feeding the babies, who are shown taking their first steps out of the nest and then becoming independent. A map of the U.S. helps children identify their own state as a habitat for mourning doves. A calendar teaches the months of the year and mourning dove activities each month. Children learn doves are in the pigeon family, and dove size is compared with robins and crows. Children are encouraged take an interest in birds and learn more about them. The book is 19 pages, with additional blank pages for children to draw and write about their own bird discoveries.
