Dedicated to helping the many wounded during the Great War, Bess Crawford receives a desperate request from a dying lieutenant while serving as a nurse aboard a hospital ship. "Tell my brother Jonathan that I lied," the young man says. "I did it for Mother's sake. But it has to be set right."
Back home in England, Bess receives an unexpected response from the dead soldier's family, for neither Jonathan Graham' his mother' nor his younger brother admit to understanding what the message means.
But the Grahams are harboring a grim secret, and Bess must, somehow, get to the bottom of it. It is her sacred duty to the dead, no matter how painful, or dangerous, that obligation might be.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The daughter of a distinguished soldier, Bess Crawford follows in his footsteps and signs up to go overseas as a nurse during the Great War, helping to deal with the many wounded. There, serving on a hospital ship, she makes a promise to a dying young lieutenant to take a message to his brother, Jonathan Graham: "Tell Jonathan that I lied. I did it for Mother?s sake. But it has to be set right." Later, when her ship is sunk by a mine and she?s sidelined by a broken arm, Bess returns home to England, determined to fulfill her promise. It?s not so easy, however. She travels to the village in Kent where the Grahams live and passes on to Jonathan his brother?s plea. Oddly, neither Jonathan, his mother, nor his younger brother admit to knowing what the message means. Then Bess learns that there?s another brother, incarcerated in a lunatic asylum since the age of 14 when he was accused of brutally murdering a housemaid. Bess rightly guesses that the dying soldier?s last words had something to do with the fourth brother. Because the family seems unwilling to do anything, she decides that she will investigate. It?s her own duty to the dead. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Seller Inventory # ABE-1632436421283
