Florence Butterfield has lived an extraordinary life full of travel, passion and adventure. But, at eighty-seven, she suspects there are no more surprises to come her way.
Then, one midsummer''s night, something terrible happens - so strange and unexpected that Florence – or Florrie, as her friends call her – is suspicious.
The only clue is a magenta envelope, discarded earlier that day.
And Florrie - cheerfully independent but often overlooked - is the only person determined to uncover the truth.
As she does, Florrie finds herself looking back on her own life . . .
…and a long-buried secret becomes ever harder to ignore.
