About this Book

During World War II they were "plotters" for the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, charting aircraft patterns in the Battle of Britain. Now, in grim postwar Britain, Rosie Bell and Antonia Ashton plot murder together. Poor and miserable, Rosie is married to civil servant Barry Bell - an abusive and philandering husband. Antonia married a Czech industrialist and has wealth without passion. In a chance reunion, the women scheme to rid themselves of their despised spouses. When the cunning Antonia seals Barry Bell's fate with a simple shove from the platform of the London Tube, the meeker Rosie is troubled by her part in the remainder of their homicidal plan. --Book jacket
