The First Casualty by Ben Elton
Flanders, June 1917: a British officer and celebrated poet, is shot dead, killed not by German fire, but while recuperating from shell shock well behind the lines.
A work of formidable imaginative scope.. the writing is so good, the language so surprisingly subtle and the characters so beautifully delineated * Daily Telegraph *
Riveting action scenes bristle with a queasy energy ... unputdownable and disgustingly realistic * Sunday Telegraph *
Elton writes a good crime story with lots of twists and excitement -- Henry Sutton * Daily Mirror *
