Book
A game of fear / Charles Todd.
Summary:
Spring, 1921. Scotland Yard sends Inspector Ian Rutledge to the sea-battered village of Walmer on the coast of Essex. Benton Abbey's lady of the house claims she saw a violent murder - but there is no body, no blood. She also insists she recognized the killer: Captain Nelson. Only it could not have been Nelson because he died during the war. The more Rutledge delves into this baffling case, the more suspicious tragedies he uncovers.
