Gone For A Soldier

Maddie used to be a writer. Maddie used to be married, too. Now she is an English teacher at a smart sixth-form college, the mother of Pip, a troubled fourteen-year-old boy, and - by her

own admission - the killer of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Benedict Fordham. Except the police can't find any trace of a body, the army doesn't have a reference for 'Robert Benedict Fordham',

and Maddie thinks he's lied about everything he's ever told her. Gone for a Soldier is a subtle psychological mystery examining truth in a postmodern world. In her characteristically gripping, elegant prose, Melissa Jones interrogates extremes of deception and the inescapable vulnerability of losing your mind to the grasp of another, in a secret and terrifying descent into darkness and death.
