reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


In March 1916, Joseph Reavley, a chaplain at the front lines, and his sister Judith, an ambulance driver, are battling not only the Germans but the bitter cold and appalling casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, their brother Matthew, an officer in England's Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only the Reavley's married sister, Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe. But appearances can be deceiving. When the savagely brutalized body of a weapons scientist is discovered in a village byway, the fear that haunts the battlefields settles over Cambridgeshire--along with the shadow of the obsessed madman who murdered the Reavley's parents on the eve of the war. Once again, the sinister figure who calls himself the Peacemaker is plotting to kill.
