A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. With this latest entry in a bestselling series that evokes all the passion and heroism of historyfs most heartbreaking conflict-the war that was mean t to end all wars-Anne Perry adds new luster to her worldwide reputation. Angels in the Gloom is an intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder that features an honorable English family-brothers Joseph and Matthew Reav ley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah. In March 1916, Joseph, a chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance dr iver, are fighting not only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalli ng casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in Engla ndfs Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Onl y Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridge shire, seems safe. Appearances, however, are deceiving. By the time Joseph returns home to Cam bridgeshire, rumors of spies and traitors are rampant. And when the savagel y brutalized body of a weapons scientist is discovered in a village byway, the fear that haunts the battlefields settles over the town-along with the shadow of the obsessed ideologue who murdered the Reavleysf parents on the eve of the war. Once again, this icy, anonymous powerbroker, the Peacemake r, is plotting to kill. Perryfs kaleidoscopic new novel illuminates an entire world, from the hell of the trenches to the London nightclub where a beautiful Irish spy plies her trade; from the sequestered laboratory where a weapon that can end the war is being perfect.
