This is a novel with a strong historical undercurrent. Situated mostly in Newfoundland during the Second World War, this novel takes some historical facts, particularly the death of Nobel Prize winner Sir Frederick Banting, co-discoverer of insulin, in a plane crash on his way to England to pressure the UK government to develop biologoical weapons, and constructs a story wherein Banting is assassinated by the Nazis.
