1916. Inspector Marmion and Sergeant Keedy are assigned to the case when the body of a young
conscientious objector is found bludgeoned to death. Public sympathy is lukewarm for conscientious
objectors with some people even claim that a conchie deserves to die if he won t fight for
his King and Country. As the detectives identify one suspect, others pop up in the most
unexpected places. Everyone speaks well of Ablatt but is he really the saint they describe?
Marmion and Keedy have to dig deep in order to unearth the instrument of slaughter and the
person who wielded it. Marston has legions of fans for his Railway Detective series, among
others, and they are sure to find the rich historical period of WW1 London very much
to their taste
