Western Front, 1918. With German defeat approaching, Joseph and Judith face increasing violence behind the lines, including the rape and murder of a nurse. Matthew arrives with news that the Peacemaker’s German counterpart is prepared to expose the British conspirator if he can be brought safely to England.

The Reavleys’ final investigation unfolds during the last offensives and the approach of armistice. They must prevent the Peacemaker from shaping the peace he failed to control through war, while deciding how truth and mercy can survive amid vengeance against prisoners and suspected traitors.
