"Douglas Kingsley is sent to Flanders in 1917 to investigate the murder of a British officer. Forced to conduct his investigations amidst the hell of the Third Battle of Ypres, Kinsley soon discoveres that both the evidence and the witnesses he needs are quite literally disappearing into the mud that surrounds him.

Ben Elton's tenth novel is a gut-wrenching historical drama which explores some fundamentl questions. What is murder? what is justice ub the face of unimaginable daily slaughter? And where is the honour in saving a man from the gallows if he is only to be returned to die in a suicidal battle?

As the gap between legally-sanctioned and illegal murder becomes ever more blurred, Kingsley quickly learns that the first casualty when war comes is truth."

Going to Panzeranzi.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

It took some time, but I finally got it into the post...
Enjoy!

Thank you! =)
It might take a while before I read it, but I'll try to get to it soon.

I liked it a lot and it fitted right into my period of WW1 reading/watching. I enjoy Ben Elton's books because he always has a way of drawing me into his story. I recognize all the places in France where they fought after reading a couple of books before this about the war and that adds to this book too. Interesting thoughts about ethics and war and why or why not you should fight.

I found a qoute I like:

"Suffragette or not, some things united all women and a love of chocolate was one of them."
