From Ben Elton comes a gripping and thought-provoking historical mystery set against the brutal backdrop of World War I.

Amid the chaos and devastation of the Western Front, Captain Douglas Kingsley is assigned an unusual task—investigating the murder of a British officer behind the lines. In a world where death is constant and often unquestioned, seeking justice for a single life seems almost absurd. But as Kingsley begins to dig deeper, he uncovers a web of secrets, lies, and hidden motives that suggest the truth may be far more dangerous than the war itself.

As the investigation unfolds, the novel explores the clash between authority and morality, and the struggle to uphold justice in a world defined by violence. With tension mounting both on and off the battlefield, Kingsley must navigate a system where truth is fragile—and survival is never guaranteed.
