About the book
Set in the era of Inspector Rutledge's service in the Great War, Charles Todd's brief tale introduces a natural-born murderer.
The setting is World War I, and young recruit Dougal Kerr from Glasgow has joined the British army. Kerr has no known family or history, but despite his calm exterior, his childhood was far from happy. The only unsettling detail for Ian Rutledge is Kerr's proficiency at killing and his apparent lack of remorse--in fact, he seems to enjoy it. In times of war, how does one distinguish between a cold-blooded killer and "a good soldier"?
