Belfast, October 1940. Twenty-year-old zookeeper Hettie Quin arrives at the city docks in time to meet her new charge: an orphaned three-year-old Indian elephant named Violet.

Her last days with the Longdan Police suddenly become more memorable than she ever wanted, and fate has an additional surprise to throw her way: a budding friendship with a mysterious woman. As Andy proceeds with what she thinks is her final homicide investigation, what she discovers could be the unraveling of the world as she knows it.

When she hears about a mare whose owner needs help part-time, it seems like an ideal arrangement—and perhaps something to help with the emptiness, diagnosable and otherwise, that she’s begun to feel.
