An intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder
that features an honorable English family – brothers Joseph and Matthew
Reavley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah. In March 1916, Joseph, a
chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance driver, are fighting not
only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalling casualties at Ypres.
Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in England's Secret Intelligence
Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only Hannah, living with her
children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe.
Appearances, however, are deceiving.....
'This powerful and intense third novel in Perry's WWI series (after 2004's Shoulder the Sky) continues the Reavley family's anguished search for the "Peacemaker," a shadowy figure responsible for their parents' murders two years earlier...' - PW.

Anne Perry, born Juliet Marion Hulme in Blackheath, London, is the author of the Thomas Pitt series. Among Anne Perry's novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt are The Whitechapel Conspiracy, Half Moon Street, Bedford Square, Brunswick Gardens, and Ashworth Hall. She also wrote the popular novels featuring Victorian private investigator William Monk - among them, Funeral in Blue, Slaves of Obsession, The Twisted Root, A Breach of Promise, and The Silent Cry. "Her grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes," said the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Perry won an Edgar award in 2000 with her short story "Heroes". The main character in the story features in an ambitious five-book series set during the First World War.
She died in April 2023, aged 84.
