Western Front, 1915. Army chaplain Joseph Reavley finds war correspondent Eldon Prentice dead in no-man’s-land and realises that he was killed by a British soldier rather than German fire. Prentice had been gathering evidence about command failures and the realities concealed from civilians at home.

Judith serves near the front as a driver and translator, while Matthew continues the intelligence search for the Peacemaker in London. The murder forces Joseph to balance justice for one man against the morale and survival of soldiers already enduring trench warfare.
