When he employs a British pilot, William Harrington, to take aerial photographs of the city, Prue is uncomfortably aware of the attraction that sparks between Harrington and Eleanora, the English wife of a famous Jerusalem photographer - a nationalist, intent on removing the British. Years later, in rain-soaked Sussex, Prue opens her door to an unwelcome visitor. What he reveals unravels her world, and she must follow the threads back to secrets buried long ago in Jerusalem...
