  • "1917, Douglas Kingsley is sent to France to secure the conviction of a young English soldier charged with the murder of a British officer."
  • "Flanders, 1917: a British officer is shot dead, killed not by German fire, but while recuperating from shell shock well behind the lines. A young English soldier is arrested and, although he protests his innocence, charged with murder. Previously a police detective and now imprisoned as a conscientious objector, Douglas Kingsley is sent to France in order to secure a conviction. As he conducts his investigations amidst The Third Battle of Ypres, Kingsley soon finds himself questioning the honour of saving a man from the gallows if he is only to return to a suicide battle. As the gap between legally-sanctioned and illegal murder becomes evermore blurred, Kingsley quickly learns that truth is the first casualty of war."
