Morning, Noon and Night #04: After Midnight

- Blurb -

In 1944, a Liberator bomber pilot writes a letter to his daughter on the occasion of her first birthday. He posts it moments before embarking on a mission from which he never returns and neither the wreckage of his plane nor his body has ever been found. Twenty years later, Linda Carr resolves to find out what happened to her father on that terrible night. It is a mystery that has haunted her all her life. She employs the help of motorcycle racer Jack Kirby, a British Mosquito fighter pilot who was on operations in the area when her father died. He too was shot down during the war and experienced at first hand the astonishing courage of the Italian partisans in the face of Nazi brutality. He also fell in love with Francesca, one of the partisan leaders, and is keen to find out what happened to her and renew their affair. However, as they journey deep into uncharted mountain regions in an attempt to piece together the fragments of their personal stories, what they discover is more dangerous and life-changing than anyone could ever have imagined.
