In A Fine Summer's Day (William Morrow), New York Times-bestselling author Charles Todd takes readers into detective Ian Rutledge's past — to his perplexing final case before the outbreak of World War I. On a fine summer's day in June, 1914, Rutledge pays little notice to the assassination of an archduke in Sarajevo. An inspector at Scotland Yard, he is planning to propose to the woman he loves deeply. To the north on this warm and gentle day, another man in love — a Scottish Highlander — shows his own dear girl the house he will build for her in September. While back in England, a son awaits the undertaker in the wake of his widowed mother's death. This death will set off a series of murders across England, seemingly unconnected, that Rutledge will race to solve in the weeks before the fateful declaration in August that will forever transform his world. With every moment at stake, Rutledge sets out to right a wrong — an odyssey that will eventually force him to choose between the Yard and his country, between love and duty, and between honor and truth.
