The Confession (2012)
“After a time Munro said, “Are you there, Rutledge?”
“I’m still here.”
“How did you come across these names? I should very much like to know.”
“They came up in a murder inquiry I’ve been conducting. Neither man had contacted anyone since the Armistice. What month did they desert?”
“Both men had been wounded but at different times and neither wound was self-inflicted for a free ticket home. Finley failed to report to France in July. Fowler’s wound was more serious, but he didn’t r...eturn to duty in September. What’s more, he missed a medical examination to update his recovery. That was in August. From my end, the two cases don’t appear to be related. I’d like to hear what you see at your end.”
“It shoots my own theory full of holes.”
“Yes, I expect it does. All right, the shoe is on the other foot now. You owe me, rather than the other way around.MoreLess
