Описание
In the aftermath of World War I, Ian Rutledge returns to a Britain grappling with the ghosts of the past. Haunted by his experiences on the battlefield and burdened by the trauma of war, Rutledge is thrust back into the role of an inspector with Scotland Yard. The challenge of his profession now lies not only in solving mysteries but in confronting his own inner demons.
As he navigates a society changed by conflict, he is drawn into a complex murder investigation in a rural village. The locals are quick to suspect a veteran but are also cloaked in their own secrets and prejudices. Rutledge must tread carefully through the web of lies and truths, all while battling his own lingering memories of war that threaten to overshadow his judgment.
Amidst the tension, Rutledge’s keen intuition and investigative skills are put to the test. He unravels the mysteries of not only the murder but also the impact of the war on those who survived. The clash between past and present becomes a thrilling backdrop for a carefully crafted narrative.
Through a skillful blend of suspense and character exploration, the story lays the groundwork for a series that promises to delve deeper into both the intricacies of murder and the human psyche shaped by conflict. Readers are welcomed into Rutledge's tumultuous journey, inviting them to ponder the costs of duty, loyalty, and the quest for redemption in a fractured world.
