Synopsis of The First Casualty
En Flandes, junio de 1917: un oficial británico y célebre poeta es asesinado a tiros, no por fuego alemán, sino mientras se recuperaba del shock de la metralla muy detrás de las líneas. Un joven soldado inglés es arrestado y, aunque protesta por su inocencia, acusado de su asesinato. Douglas Kingsley, anteriormente detective de la policía de Londres, pronto descubre que tanto las pruebas como los testigos que necesita están desapareciendo literalmente en el barro que lo rodea. La décima novela de Ben Elton es un drama histórico visceral que explora algunas cuestiones fundamentales. ¿Qué es el asesinato? ¿Qué es la justicia frente a una matanza diaria inimaginable? ¿Y dónde está el honor de salvar a un hombre de la horca si solo va a ser devuelto para morir en una batalla suicida? A medida que la brecha entre el asesinato legalmente sancionado y el ilegal se vuelve cada vez más borrosa, Kingsley aprende rápidamente que la primera víctima cuando llega la guerra es la verdad.
