A Presumption of Death: A New Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane Mystery by Walsh, Jill Paton. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780312991388.

While Lord Peter is abroad on a secret mission, Harriet Vane, now Lady Peter Wimsey, takes their children to safety in the country. But theres no escape from war: rumors of spies abound, glamorous RAF pilots and flirtatious land-girls scandalize the villagers, and the blackout makes rural lanes as sinister as Londons alleys. And when a practice air-raid ends with a young womans death, its almost a shock to hear that the cause is not enemy action, but murder. Or is it? With Peter away, Harriet sets out to find out whodunit...and the chilling reason why.
