About the book
New Year's Eve, 1919. While dining with friends, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge is summoned away and discovers a brass cartridge casing outside. Despite its resemblance to others he encountered during the war, this one bears a mysterious engraving. Intrigued, he takes it with him. Soon, another casing appears in an unexpected location, indicating to him that there is unfinished business related to the war that continues to haunt him.
As a survivor with a haunting secret, Rutledge grapples with his inner demons, fearing that his past transgressions will be uncovered. Now, someone is actively pursuing him. But who could it be, and will Rutledge survive long enough to uncover the motive behind the pursuit?
