Western Front, 1917. A deeply unpopular officer is murdered by men from his own unit, and Joseph Reavley must discover which soldier acted while understanding the conditions that drove the group towards violence. Discipline, exhaustion and loyalty make the truth dangerous to both the accused and the battalion.
Judith remains close to the fighting, and Matthew follows the Peacemaker’s network through British intelligence. The case places individual responsibility against the cumulative strain of trench warfare and the fear that justice imposed without compassion will destroy men who have already endured too much.
