It is October 1940 and undertaker Francis Hancock is called out to Epping Forest
to attend to the corpse of a young gypsy girl who has died suddenly. At the wake,
a gypsy named Lily claims to see a vision of the 'Blessed Virgin'. Meanwhile the
Military Police are looking for a German gypsy - Martin Stojka - who they believe
is a Nazi spy. Then Lily is found stabbed through the chest. Could it be a crime
of passion or cold blooded murder?
Is Martin Stojka who he says he is? There is someone lurking in the shadows who will
stop at nothing to find what Martin has in his possession...
