The daughter of a distinguished soldier, Bess Crawford, follows in his footsteps and signs up to go overseas as a nurse during the Great War, helping to deal with the many wounded There serving on a hospital ship, she makes a promise to a dying young lieutenant to take a message to his brother Jonathan Graham Tell Jonathan that I lied I did it for Mother s sake But it has to be set right Later, when her ship is sunk by a mine and she s sidelined by a broken arm, Bess returns home to England determined to fulfill her promise
It s not so easy, however She travels to the village in Kent where the Grahams live and passes on to Jonathan his brother s plea Oddly, neither Jonathan, his mother, nor his younger brother admit to knowing what the message means Then Bess learns that there s another brother, incarcerated in a lunatic asylum since the age of 14 when he was accused of brutally murdering a housemaid
Bess rightly guesses that the dying soldier s last words had something to do with the fourth brother Because the family seems unwilling to do anything, she decides that she will investigate It s her own duty to the dead.
