Summary
England, 1936 - a century after First Contact.
On Vulcan, T'Pau struggles to keep her world from becoming increasingly entangled in human politics. On Earth, Ambassador Sarek works tirelessly to prevent another great war. The key to planetary unification may lie in a heroic young American naval officer he met twenty years ago, when his aid convoy encountered a tragedy so brutal that no one who witnessed it can ever forget what they've seen.
Now captain of the first Earth naval ship with an international crew (and a Vulcan first officer), James T. Kirk believes the horrors of Tarsus are no more than ghosts from his past. But after a chance encounter with his old friend Tom Leighton sends the officers of the Enterprise to a remote country manor on the gloomy English moors, Jim realizes not everyone who survived Tarsus has managed to leave it behind - and that one of those ghosts may be very much alive.
When a weekend house party turns deadly, Jim races to unmask the killer before he becomes their next target. But with a troupe of traveling actors thrown into the mix, he soon learns that he's not the only one keeping dark secrets . . . and that anyone could be a suspect.
