It's a baffling case. The victims are soldiers who survived the horrors of World War I only to meet a ghastly end in the quiet English countryside two years later. Each had been garroted, with small ID discs left in their mouths. </p><p>But even Scotland Yard's presence doesn't deter this vicious and clever killer. Shortly after Inspector Ian Rutledge arrives, a fourth soldier is found dead. With few clues to go on and the pressure building, Rutledge must gamble everything to find answers--his job, his reputation, and even his life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Todd's attention to period detail, plotting and character exploration are at the forefront of the 13th Ian Rutledge Mystery....Todd and his hero are in fine form from start to finish."--Romantic Times on A Lonely Death (4 1/2 stars; Top Pick)<br><br>"Fully realized characters, well-researched settings, and exquisite writing combine with a surprising and chilling solution to mark this 13th outing as a standout in Todd's deservedly award-winning series."--Mystery Scene on A Lonely Death<br><br>"[The authors'] subtle prose and profound empathy for all their characters enhance a suspenseful and twisty plot."--Publishers Weekly on A Lonely Death<br><br>"A strong entry in a strong series."--Charlotte Observer on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Another engaging entry in a fine series."--Booklist on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Compelling...a provocative thriller."--Iron Mountain Daily News on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Eloquently blasts war for the obscenity it is."--Kirkus Reviews on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Masterly."--New York Times Book Review on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Suspense filled."--Oklahoman on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Todd invests this absorbing fiction with creative storytelling (including intriguing subplots), memorable characters and graceful, seemingly effortless prose....This is fiction that moves, entertains, and as always, underscores life's victories over death."--Richmond Times-Dispatch on A Lonely Death<br><br>"Todd once and for all establishes the shell-shocked Rutledge as the genre's most complex and fascinating detective."--Entertainment Weekly, on A LONELY DEATH (Grade: A-)<br><br>"Todd's intriguing revenge tale will keep the reader turning the pages, but the main draw remains Rutledge, the relentless inspector haunted by the voice of a Scotsman he executed on the battlefield for disobeying an order.
