World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford matches
wits with a devious killer in this exciting and suspenseful
adventure from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd
In the spring of 1918, the Spanish flu epidemic spreads,
killing millions of soldiers and civilians across the globe.
Overwhelmed by the constant flow of wounded soldiers coming
from the French front, battlefield nurse Bess Crawford must
now contend with hundreds of influenza patients as well.
However, war and disease are not the only killers to strike.
Bess discovers, concealed among the dead waiting for burial,
the body of an officer who has been murdered. Though she is
devoted to all her patients, this soldier's death touches
her deeply. Not only did the man serve in her father's
former regiment, he was also a family friend.
Before she can report the terrible news, Bess falls ill, the
latest victim of the flu. By the time she recovers, the
murdered officer has been buried, and the only other person
who saw the body has hanged himself. Or did he?
Working her father's connections in the military, Bess
begins to piece together what little evidence she can find
to unmask the elusive killer and see justice served. But she
must be as vigilant as she is tenacious. With a determined
killer on her heels, each move Bess makes could be her last.
