In the mining town of Crouden, Jack Aylward's name is on the top of his list. Many men never returned to Crouden from the mud of Northern France; the survivors are tragically altered. Gilpin may exorcise their ghosts, but he brings new terrors with his justice. Kitty Aylward watches in horror as he tears apart the lives of people she has loved and respected. After a wonderful childhood with her constant companions, Billy and Jack, Kitty had finally married Billy but before he left to fight Billy asked for one strange promise: if he should die, she must marry his closest friend. When her husband was killed kept her oath, but now she slowly realises that Gilpin could hold a terrible secret concerning Jack, and Billy's death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying about Paul Doherty:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A \u003cb\u003etremendous\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eabsorbing\u003c\/b\u003e read'\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eThe sounds and smells of the period seem to waft from the pages\u003c\/b\u003e of [Paul Doherty's] books'\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eFive stars\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline Book Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127451795696,"sku":"9780755398355","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780755398355_p0.jpg?v=1763657571","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780755398355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
