For King and Country

by Evelyn James Book 36 in the The Clara Fitzgerald Mysteries series.

First published 2025

Amazon

4.5(305)

Nearly seven years after the First World War, Clara helps at the home for former servicemen run by her husband. The residents remain unable to return to ordinary life, and their suffering makes Clara alert to the political men who are willing to sacrifice another generation for ideology.

A group of traitors operating in the English countryside intends to destabilise the country and draw Britain towards renewed conflict. Clara’s investigation connects the conspiracy to the veterans around her and turns the prevention of murder into an attempt to prevent another war.
