1926. The war-ravaged vineyards of France. In this masterpiece of
suspense from CWA Historical Dagger Award-winner Barbara Cleverly,
a nameless soldier plunges Scotland Yard inspector Joe Sandilands
into a shifting world of deception, rage, and murder.... "
"A well-earned vacation takes a sharp detour when Sandilands is
called to France, where a shell-shocked patient--a tragic casualty
of war--is in the throes of a violent nightmare. Trying to
determine the mystery man's identity proves a difficult,
internationally delicate task: several families are claiming the
unknown soldier as their own.
But it is at a famed chateau, where the wine flows and disturbing
secrets abound, that Sandilands meets a woman who takes his
investigation in a chillingly different direction. Strong-willed
and alluring Aline Houdart's husband has been missing and presumed
dead for nearly ten years. Her true motives are as elusive as the
truth about a long-ago night...when a horrific crime was committed
and lives changed forever. Now Sandilands, an ex-soldier himself, a
man who has seen his share of bloodshed and sorrow, is waging his
own battle for justice. It is a fight for his fallen comrades that
will unmask a killer. Or bury the truth forever...
