We shall not sleep

Anne Perry

October 1918. The war is in its closing stages. Joseph and Matthew are desperate to solve the conspiracy, because they know their arch-enemy will find a way to be involved in the war settlement - to Britain's disadvantage. Trying to save his skin, the Peacemaker's cousin turns himself in, agreeing to reveal the identity of the mastermind. However, just as he arrives at Joseph's field hospital, hidden among other German defectors, one of the nurses is brutally raped. Of course, everyone wants to believe it's one of the German prisoners, and no one can leave the hospital until the truth is found. Joseph finally obtains the last pieces of information he needs about the master plot. The man is the German counterpart to the British leader of the conspiracy. Joseph, Judith, and Mason bundle him into an ambulance and drive for all their worth through France, trying to get him to London to alert the Prime Minister to the plot. After a hair-raising journey, they burst into Lloyd George's office and expose the Peacemaker at last. Then silence falls: the guns have stopped. It's the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
