Historical
March, 1944: US Army Lieutenant Billy Boyle, back in England
after a dangerous mission in Italy, is due for a little
R&R, and also a promotion. But the now-Captain Boyle
doesn't get to kick back and enjoy his leisure time because
two upsetting cases fall into his lap at once. The
first is a personal request from an estranged friend:
Sergeant Eugene "Tree" Jackson, who grew up with Billy in
Boston, is part of the 617th Tank Destroyers, the
all-African American battalion poised to make history by
being the US Army's first combatant African American
company. But making history isn't easy, and the 617 faces
racism at every turn. One of Tree's men, a gunner named
Angry Smith, has been arrested for a crime he almost
certainly didn't commit, and faces the gallows if the real
killer isn't found. Tree knows US top brass won't care about
justice in this instance, and asks Billy if he'll look into
it. But Billy can't use any of his leave to
investigate, because British intelligence agent Major
Cosgrove puts him on a bizarre and delicate case. A British
accountant has been murdered in an English village, and he
may or may not have had some connection with the US
Army—Billy doesn't know, because Cosgrove won't tell him.
Billy is supposed to go into the village and investigate the
murder, but everything seems fishy—he's not allowed to
interrogate certain key witnesses, and his friends and
helpers keep being whisked away. Billy is confused about
whether Cosgrove even wants him to solve the murder, and
why. The good news is the mysterious murder gives
Billy an excuse to spend time in and around the village
where Tree and his unit are stationed. If he's lucky, maybe
he can get to the bottom of both mysteries—and save more
than one innocent life.
