The Shattered Tree: A Bess Crawford Mystery Paperback - 2016
by Charles Todd
From the rear cover
France, October 1918. Though the war is nearing its end, the German enemy refuses to go quietly. When an exhausted officer is found clinging to life at the foot of a tree shattered by shelling and gunfire, he is brought to Bess Crawford's aid station, where she treats his injuries. Surprisingly, the officer is wearing the tattered remnants of a French uniform. Even stranger, he speaks fluent German.
When Bess reports her suspicions she receives a plausible explanation. The soldier must be from Alsace-Lorraine, where the tenuous border between France and Germany has continually shifted. Still, Bess remains unconvinced. What was a French soldier doing so far from his own lines . . . and so close to where the Germans are putting up a fierce, last-ditch fight?
Before she can inquire further, Bess is wounded. Sent to Paris to recuperate, she discovers that her mysterious soldier is also in the French capital . . . but has disappeared.
With the unexpected help of Captain Barkley, Bess, a soldier's daughter, embarks on a dangerous hunt to find the man and uncover the truth, even at the risk of her own life.Details
