The Last Post

A short story introducing the “wonderful heroine” May Keaps, a World War I ambulance driver turned detective (Andrew Taylor, author of The Ashes of London). In April 1918, May Keaps is a twenty-year-old ambulance driver stationed at the front. As if transporting hideously wounded soldiers, sleep deprivation, and constant shell bombardment weren’t enough, she becomes unwittingly entangled in the untimely death of a young captain, Tobias Fairfax. Newly arrived in Northern France, he was found with a discharged pistol by his side; rumors on the battlefield were that it wasn’t an accident and he had taken the coward’s way out.

Whatever the explanation, Tobias left a dangerous legacy that puts May in the line of fire. But she is not the only one with a reason to uncover the truth. And in a world where life can be extinguished in the blink of an eye, May might regret her search for answers . . . Previously published as Faith’s Reward, The Last Post is the introduction to the May Keaps mystery series.
