Unhealed scars of the Great War still torment Scotland
Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge, and he carries with him the
presence of the soldier he was forced to execute in the
midst of battle. A haunted, damaged shell of a man, he has
been sent to the small coastal town of Hampton Regis to
solve a violent crime and to confront his own tragic past.
An officer who served with Rutledge in the trenches
of France before being sent back to England under suspicious
circumstances has now been accused of savagely beating the
husband of the woman he still loves. The suspect has taken
the wife hostage, threatening to kill her and her maid
unless Rutledge is put in charge of the investigation.
Although the case painfully mirrors Rutledge's own past and
the love he lost to another man, he cannot refuse it. When
the unconscious brutalized victim vanishes without a trace,
it's clear that this peaceful little town hides a vicious
murderer . . . and secrets powerful enough to kill for.
