A changeling in the house is only the beginning. 1949: Four years after D-Day, Thomas Gregson, widowed veteran turned Scotland Yard inspector, leaves London for Ireland, taking a train to visit his former brother-in-arms, Colin Shanahan. Colin's wife Marjorie has just given birth in their remote, rural hometown, and Thomas has been asked to serve as the baby's godfather. A restless night and a driving storm change everything: in the morning, a wailing child lay in a crib unprotected by charms hung there only the day before. Marjorie suspects the Good Folk have stolen their baby and left a changeling in its place. When local police are less than helpful, Thomas reluctantly agrees to investigate. Though started with sympathy and skepticism, the investigation soon spirals into something darker-- and as a struggling mother grapples with child or changeling, Thomas might just run out of time to find the truth.
