THE GUNS ARE SILENT. THE DEAD ARE NOT. 'The world has been waiting
for a worthy successor to Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong - now Philip
Gray has delivered it' David Young, author of Stasi Child
___________________________________ 1919. On the battlefields of
northern France, the guns of the Great War are silent. Special
battalions now face the task of gathering up the dead for mass
burial. Amy Vanneck's fiancé is one soldier lost amongst many. She
heads to France, determined to discover what became of the man she
loved. Meanwhile, Captain Mackenzie cannot bring himself to go home
until his fallen comrades are laid to rest. His task is upended
when a gruesome discovery is made beneath the ruins of a German
strongpoint. It soon becomes clear that what Mackenzie has
uncovered is a war crime of inhuman savagery. As the dark truth
leaches out, both he and Amy are drawn into the hunt for a
psychopath, one for whom the atrocity at Two Storm Wood is not an
end, but a beginning. 'An atmospheric portrayal of the pity of the
war' The Times, Books of the Year
