About this audiobook
The year is 1917 and Doctor John Watson is held in a notorious POW camp deep in enemy Germany, there as Medical Officer for the British prisoners.
With the Allied blockade, food is perilously short in the camp and when a new prisoner is murdered all assume the poor chap was killed for his Red Cross parcel.
Watson, though, isn't so sure.
Something isn't quite what it seems and a creeping feeling of unease tells Watson there is more to this than meets the eye. And when an escape plot is apparently uncovered in his hut and he is sent to solitary confinement, he knows he has touched a nerve.
If Watson is to reveal the heinous crimes that have occurred at the camp, he must escape before he is silenced for good. All he needs is some long-distance help from his old friend, Sherlock Holmes…
'Robert Ryan is the key heir apparent to Conan Doyle' Barry Forshaw, Financial Times
Robert Ryan
Robert Ryan has struggled with the concept of how “God always was” from the age of four. That set him on a journey of discovery that continues today. In this book, he converts his deep questions into clear compelling answers about how the evidence supports the existence of God, demonstrating that intellect is not a barrier to belief, it is a path to belief. When not writing or traveling, Ryan spends time with his wife, Vicki, at their homes in Texas and Michigan.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I never felt fully engaged with this story - maybe because I discovered that it was the third in a series. However, the plotting didn't hold my attention and I kept on feeling that I was missing out on some important background information. In the end I did finish it - but then felt that I had wasted my time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am really enjoying this series of Dr Watson WW1 mysteries by Robert Ryan. They are very well written with great characters and good mysteries. There is a surprise death of a character at the end - a character I liked, so I was sorry about that. I will read the next one soon.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ok but a bit grittier than I like my Holmes and Watson.
