We Shall Not Sleep

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. Anne Perry's magnificent Victorian mysteries established her as one of the world's best known and loved historical novelists. Now, in her vividly imag ined World War I novels, Perry's talents "have taken a quantum leap" (The S tar-Ledger), and so has the number of her devoted readers. We Shall Not Sle ep, the final book in this epic series featuring the dedicated Reavley fami ly, is perhaps the most memorably enthralling of all Perry's novels. After four long years, peace is finally in sight. But chaplain Joseph Reavl ey and his sister Judith, an ambulance driver on the Western Front, are mor e hard pressed than ever. Behind the lines, violence is increasing: soldier s are abusing German prisoners, a nurse has been raped and murdered, and th e sinister ideologue called the Peacemaker now threatens to undermine the p eace just as he did the war. Then Matthew, the third Reavley sibling and an intelligence expert, suddenl y arrives at the front with startling news. The Peacemaker's German counter part has offered to go to England and expose his co-conspirator as a traito r. But with war still raging and prejudices inflamed, such a journey would be fraught with hazards, especially since the Peacemaker has secret informe rs everywhere, even on the battlefield. For richness of plot, character, and feeling, We Shall Not Sleep is unmatched. Anne Perry's brilliantly orchestrated finale is a heartstopping tour de force, mesmerizing and totally satisfying.
