“She left the brooch in its grave. Somebody left a man in there with it.”
April 2028. A tractor driver puts a silver-gilt Saxon brooch on Bo Catchpole’s trestle table in the back room of the Lamb and Ferret and swears it came off a headland by the Engine Drain. Bo knows the brooch. She drew it herself in the autumn of 2011, on the shoulder of a woman in a grave on the Bone Field at Linmere, and watched the grave covered and filled in to be left for ever.
Out on the field, where the potato machine has been, there is a human jaw with a gold crown in it. No Saxon ever had one of those. By the next morning the jaw is gone, and somebody has dug straight down beside the woman to the place where a second body lay.
Kit Leggett drew every grave on that island. He was flying to New Zealand the week the trenches were closed, and his mother has two postcards to prove he got there. They are not in his writing.

How it begins
Len came in at ten past ten on his stick, with Glen a step behind him carrying the cushion, and the back room of the Lamb and Ferret went quiet for him the way it had gone quiet for him every second Saturday since February.
