Scotland Yard's Ian Rutledge finds himself caught in a twisted web
of vengeance, old grievances, and secrets that lead back to World
War I in the nineteenth installment of the acclaimed bestselling
series. On the eve of the bloody Battle of the Somme, a group of
English officers having a last drink before returning to the Front
make a promise to each other: if they survive the battle ahead--and
make it through the war--they will meet in Paris a year after the
fighting ends. They will celebrate their good fortune by racing
motorcars they beg, borrow, or own from Paris to Nice. In November
1919, the officers all meet as planned, and though their motorcars
are not designed for racing, they set out for Nice. But a serious
mishap mars the reunion. In the mountains just north of their
destination, two vehicles are nearly run off the road, and one man
is badly injured. No one knows--or will admit to knowing--which
driver was at the wheel of the rogue motorcar. Back in England one
year later, during a heavy rainstorm, a driver loses control on a
twisting road and is killed in the crash. Was it an accident due to
the hazardous conditions? Or premeditated murder? Is the crash
connected in some way to the unfortunate events in the mountains
above Nice the year before? The dead driver wasn't in
France--although the motorcar he drove was. If it was foul play,
was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was the dead man the
intended victim after all? Investigating this perplexing case,
Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge discovers that the truth is
elusive--and that the villages on the South Downs, where the
accident happened, are adept at keeping secrets, frustrating his
search. Determined to remain in the shadows this faceless killer is
willing to strike again to stop Rutledge from finding him. This
time, the victim he chooses is a child, and it will take all of
Rutledge's skill to stop him before an innocent young life is
sacrificed.
