Douglas Kingsley is sent to Flanders in 1917 to investigate the murder of a British Officer amid the hell of the Third Battle of Ypres. But both the evidence and the witnesses are disappearing into the mud that surrounds him. Fundamental questions are explored: what is murder? What is justice in the face of horrific daily slaughter? Where is the honour in saving a man from the gallows if he is only to be returned to die in a suicidal battle? Most important of all - what is the first casualty of war?
