Description
Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle works in the English town of Hastings. As World War II tears at the social fabric of this once quiet coastal community, Foyle investigates crimes the conflict has fostered on the home front.
Description
Set 1: The time is the early 1940s; the place is England's southern coast. As WWII rages around him, duty calls Christopher Foyle. Much to his frustration, however, the stalwart detective's responsibilities are on the home front, not the battlefront.
Description
Set 2: 1940. London is in the grip of the Blitz. In Hastings, the disappearance of a young boy and a break-in at a local food depot lead Foyle and his team to a "funk hole," a hotel catering to wealthy guests seeking a wartime retreat. There they discover a nest of cowardice, greed, and deceit.
