Beskrivning
New Year's Eve, 1919. Called away from dinner at the home of friends, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge finds a brass cartridge casing on the steps outside. While it looks identical to the countless others he'd seen during the war, this one has a mysterious engraving. Curious, he pockets it. But soon, he finds another-in a most unexpected place. The inspector knows the shells are for him-markers that point to unfinished business involving the terrible war he cannot leave behind. A survivor with a dark secret, Rutledge walks on the edge of sanity, filled with the abiding fear that someone will discover the guilt, the horror, the shock he carries deep within. And now someone is hunting him. But who? And will Rutledge live long enough to find out why?

  1. 1/5 Tomas H

    I bought this book on recommendation. In fact I bought three books by the same author couple. Big mistake. I slaved through the first two. Now on no.3 just because I bought it. Everything is gloomy. The weather, the village, the people, the detective. The sky and the roofs are slate grey. The main character is punished by an inner character who questions everything he does. Endless conversations with reluctant villagers who basically hate him for just being there. The plot is decent, but slow, slow, slow - it was a fight to get to the end. I guess this kind of ultra-slow storytelling, with a main character who is tormented by his own mind as well as people around him appeals to some. Not to me.
