A man investigates the deaths of his fellow veterans in this "haunting and beautifully written" novel of post -World War I England (C. S. Harris, author of the Sebastian St. Cyr Mysteries).

London, 1920. In the aftermath of the Great War and a devastating family tragedy, Laurence Bartram has turned his back on the world.

As veterans tied to John...
