catsalive (Australia) (2009/04/17): In Cambridge, in 1914, the golden June days seem timeless. But for the four Reavley siblings, the summer is shattered by their parents' deaths in a car accident on the same day the Austrian Archduke of Serbia is assassinated. As their suspicions grow, they visit the scene of the crash, examine the ruined car, and find evidence that the crash may not have been an accident. Matthew Reavley is an intelligence officer; his father was driving to London to show him a document he believed was part of a conspiracy that would disgrace England. Days later, Joseph Reavley's favorite student is found murdered in his Cambridge dormitory room. The brothers join forces to investigate the two murders. Captures the quiet atmosphere of Cambridge and the British countryside in 1914 alongside the climate of fear instilled in the students by the unsolved murder and the threat of coming war.
