Synopsis

Ghost Swifts, Blue Poppies and the Red Star
A gripping historical mystery of love, loss, and wartime secrets

1919. The Great War may be over, but for Harriet McDougall, the search for truth has only just begun.

Widowed and grieving the deaths of her two sons, Harriet refuses to accept the silence left behind. Armed with a tin of old letters, a cryptic message from a London medium, and the reluctant help of her only surviving son, she begins an extraordinary investigation into what really happened on the battlefields of Belgium and Greece.

From rural Sussex to the ruins of war-torn Europe, Ghost Swifts, Blue Poppies and the Red Star is a powerful, page-turning historical mystery—blending genealogy, family secrets, and emotional depth in a story that lingers long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Alice Network, and The Book Thief

About this title

About the Author

Born in the famed battle town of Hastings, England, Nathan Dylan Goodwin has always had a passion for writing in one form or another. Having gained a Bachelor's degree in Radio, Film and Television studies, Nathan went on to gain a Masters degree in Creative Writing, from Canterbury Christ Church University. Nathan started his writing career with non-fiction, his first book 'Hastings at War' being published in May 2005. This was followed by three further local history books pertaining to the area around his home town of Hastings. His first forays into fiction writing culminated in the publication in 2013 of 'Hiding the Past' - a genealogical crime mystery novel. The next books in the series are: The Lost Ancestor (#2), The Orange Lilies (#3), The America Ground (#4), The Spyglass File (#5), The Missing Man (#6), The Suffragette's Secret (a Morton Farrier short story) and The Wicked Trade (#7). In his very early forties, Nathan enjoys running, skiing, reading, genealogy, writing and time with his husband and son. That about sums it up!
