Summary |
1857: Lieutenant Victor Narraway arrives at a battered military base at Cawnpore just two weeks before Christmas, but no one is celebrating: they have been betrayed. A soldier under arrest for dereliction of duty killed a guard and escaped to join the rebels, taking crucial information that led to the massacre of nine men on patrol. Someone must have helped him, and medical orderly John Tallis is the only man unaccounted for at the time. He is now on trial for his life, and Narraway is commanded to defend him. The British Army needs justice to be carried out in full, and there seems no doubt of Tallis's guilt. But Narraway cannot see any motive for his actions. Will an innocent man hang before Christmas? |
