It is 1918 and London is gathering in its dead. For undertaker Henry Speake, laying to rest the young bodies of those sent home from the Front to die has become a grimly familiar duty. But what he is seeing now, as influenza claims its victims, is something different, and for the first time in his life, Henry feels afraid of death.
