Summary:
It's New Year's Eve, 1919. Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge has
accompanied his sister to the home of mutual friends for dinner but
gets a call from the office and has to leave. On the steps outside,
he sees a brass cartridge casing, like countless others he's seen
during the war. But this one has an engraving in the metal. Curious,
he pockets it. Soon after, Rutledge is on the southern coast of
England helping the local police capture a murderer. Work done, on a
whim he drives along the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic and takes a
walk out on the headland. Returning to his car, he finds another
engraved cartridge casing on the driver's seat. He's been followed.
The cartridge casing seems to point to the war and unfinished
business there. To stay alive in the face of an unknown and unseen
adversary, Rutledge is pressed to the limits of his skills. He's the
prey. But who is the hunter?
