![]() ![]() ![]() The most obvious suspect is a much decorated pilot, a favourite of the Queen's no less, and so the policeman who brings him to trial will be very unpopular.Ī TEST OF WILLS is the first in the Ian Rutledge series, written by mother and son team Caroline and Charles Todd. So the request from Warwickshire for help in managing the investigation into the murder of Colonel Harris seems as if heaven sent. Bowles dislikes Rutledge, his education, his reputation as a war hero, and his pre-war history as an intuitive clever detective. Rutledge is turning out to be a problem for Superintendent Bowles, his superior at Scotland Yard. And he carries with him memories that he can't escape. He's suffering from shell shock, the legacy of the Somme where he was buried alive, subsequently spending time in a psychiatric hospital. But though he's survived he hasn't come through unscathed. He's come back to London Yard to pick up the brilliant career he left in late 1914. The Great War is over, and Ian Rutledge has survived. ![]()
