#SuspenseMonday - in celebration of Memorial Day, something
from WWI outbreak
New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd
takes readers into Scotland Yard detective Ian Rutledge’s
past—to his perplexing final case before the outbreak of
World War I. On a fine summer’s day in June, 1914, Ian Rutledge pays
little notice to the assassination of an archduke in
Sarajevo. An Inspector at Scotland Yard, he is planning to
propose to the woman whom he deeply loves, despite
intimations from friends and family that she may not be
the
wisest choice. To the north on this warm and gentle day, another man in
love—a Scottish Highlander—shows his own dear girl the
house
he will build for her in September. While back in England,
a
son awaits the undertaker in the wake of his widowed
mother’s death. This death will set off a series of
murders
across England, seemingly unconnected, that Rutledge will
race to solve in the weeks before the fateful declaration
in
August that will forever transform his world. As the
clouds of war gather on the horizon, all of Britain
wonders
and waits. With every moment at stake, Rutledge sets out
to
right a wrong—an odyssey that will eventually force him to
choose between the Yard and his country, between love and
duty, and between honor and truth.
