Summary

Joe Sandilands has been dispatched to France to stay as the guest of a glamorous French war-widow who is determined that Joe should support her claim that a mysterious shell-shocked soldier is her husband. The problem is that four other claimants have identified him differently. Joe decides to investigate the four claimants and picks his way through a tangle of lies, deceit, and manipulation, uncovering a cleverly concealed murder committed during the war years. When he finally discovers the identity of the soldier, he faces an even greater dilemma: he must not only solve a killing in the past, but avert a tragedy in the future.

Spoiled by narrator .

This is a very good story completely spoilt by this narrator , he is unable to speak more than ten words continuously due to breathlessness and then after great intakes of breath we are treated to glottal swallowing of mouthfuls of saliva .

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
