Zustand: Muy bueno. : En un día de verano de 1981, una niña de dos años, Tamsin Hall, fue secuestrada durante un picnic en el famoso sitio prehistórico de Avebury en Wiltshire. Su hermana de siete años, Miranda, fue atropellada y asesinada por la camioneta del secuestrador. Las niñas estaban al cuidado de su niñera, Sally Wilkinson. Uno de los testigos de este trágico evento fue David Umber, un estudiante de doctorado que estaba esperando en el pub del pueblo para reunirse con un hombre llamado Griffith, quien afirmó que podía ayudar a Umber con sus investigaciones sobre las cartas de "Junius", el polemista seudónimo del siglo XVIII que era el tema de su doctorado. Pero Griffin no se presentó y Umber nunca más supo de él. La familia Hall se desmoronó bajo la tensión. Sally Wilkinson, la niñera, terminó viviendo con Umber, a quien había conocido en la investigación. Pero nunca se recuperó del incidente, sufrió cada vez más de depresión y finalmente se suicidó. En la primavera de 2004, el jefe inspector retirado George Sharp recibe una carta firmada "Junius" reprochándole por arruinar la investigación de 1981. Sharp se enfrenta a Umber, cuya explicación de estar en la escena de la tragedia siempre ha parecido dudosa. Obligado a aceptar la negación de Umber de la autoría de la carta, no obstante, lo obliga a unirse a la búsqueda del verdadero culpable, y por lo tanto, la verdad largamente oculta sobre lo que sucedió 23 años antes. Es una búsqueda que ambos lamentarán más tarde haber emprendido. Demasiado tarde llegan a comprender que es mejor dejar algunos misterios sin resolver.
