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 record of 'Robert Benedict Fordham', and Maddie thinks he's lied about everything he's ever told her.

In a terrifying descent into darkness and death Gone for a Soldier examines truth in a postmodern world, explores the very extremes of deception, and dives deep into the vulnerability of handing over trust to someone you don't - can't - really know.
