  • "The guns finally fall silent in November 1918 as the war ends. Finally, the Reavley siblings learn the identity of the man who murdered their parents and discover that Britain, the British Empire, and the world are changed forever."@en

  • "The War is coming to a close, with huge advances by the Allies. Joseph Reavley's own regiment has suffered huge losses but all are living in hope that peace will soon be upon them, when a further, brutal tragedy strikes the Front. Sarah Price, a young nurse, is savagely raped and murdered and Joseph, sickened by the crime, vows to find the person responsible. Matthew, Joseph's brother, is already at the Front to meet a prisoner who claims to be able to identify the shadowy Peacemaker, when he becomes implicated in the nurse's death. If Matthew is to bring the prisoner to the office of the Prime Minister, he must work with Joseph to ensure that Sarah Price's killer is found, and soon. If Matthew is able to put a stop to the Peacemaker's schemes, there will be a chance for lasting peace; if he fails, then freedom and liberty could be all but a distant memory for future generations."
  • "Anne Perry's magnificent Victorian mysteries established her as one of the world's best known and loved historical novelists. Now, in her vividly imagined World War I novels, Perry's talents "have taken a quantum leap ("The Star-Ledger), and so has the number of her devoted readers. We Shall Not Sleep, the final book in this epic series featuring the dedicated Reavley family, is perhaps the most memorably enthralling of all Perry's novels. After four long years, peace is finally in sight. But chaplain Joseph Reavley and his sister Judith, an ambulance driver on the Western Front, are more hard pressed than ever. Behind the lines, violence is increasing: soldiers are abusing German prisoners, a nurse has been raped and murdered, and the sinister ideologue called the Peacemaker now threatens to undermine the peace just as he did the war. Then Matthew, the third Reavley sibling and an intelligence expert, suddenly arrives at the front with startling news. The Peacemaker's German counterpart has offered to go to England and expose his co-conspirator as a traitor. But with war still raging and prejudices inflamed, such a journey would be fraught with hazards, especially since the Peacemaker has secret informers everywhere, even on the battlefield. For richness of plot, character, and feeling, We Shall Not Sleep is unmatched. Anne Perry's brilliantly orchestrated finale is a heartstopping tour de force, mesmerizing and totally satisfying. From the Hardcover edition."@en

  • "It is October 1918 on the Western Front and Captain Joseph Reavley can barely bring himself to look at the body lying discarded outside the operating tent. Four years of facing the death and the horror of the trenches, yet nothing could have prepared him for the mutilation wrought upon young nurse Sarah Price. Charged with tracking down the man responsible, Joseph will do whatever it takes to bring him to justice. Meanwhile, Joseph's brother Matthew, of the British SIS, has to track down the Peacemaker. If he fails then freedom and liberty could cease to exist."

Alors que Matthew et Joseph sont sur le point de rencontrer un colonel allemand qui doit leur apporter des informations sur le Pacificateur, le meurtre d'une infirmière au sein même de l'hôpital où ils se trouvent vient compromettre leurs chances de découvrir enfin la vérité..."
