‘A stunning sequel to The Ghosts of Passchendaele… well written and very exciting!’ The Somme, August 1916. In the bloody chaos of Delville Wood, a soldier dies and his brother deserts. Four years later, a rogue letter threatens the newly won peace in Europe, and a ghost from the Great War returns to haunt the man who sent him there. Meanwhile, in the remote village of Great Tew, a body is found. Every family had good reason to hate the victim, and it falls to Constable Burrows, Innes Knox, the local doctor, and Edward Spense, youngest son of the Dowager Lady Langford, to investigate. In the Foreign Office in London, Sir Anthony Kerr is horrified to receive a blackmail demand that could change the course of history, and lead to another war. A letter must be recovered at all costs and the trail leads to Great Tew. But unexpected events leave Constable Burrows to doggedly pursue the murderer alone and, as Sir Anthony prepares for the exchange at Langford Hall, the ghost extracts his terrible revenge… The Death of Conscience is a supernatural crime thriller set in an ancient landscape where the Great War casts a long shadow, and nothing is quite what it seems.
