About this ebook

In Charles Todd's Wings of Fire, Inspector Ian Rutledge is quickly sent to investigate the sudden deaths of three members of the same eminent Cornwall family, but the World War I veteran soon realizes that nothing about this case is routine.

Guided by the voice of Hamish, the Scot he unwillingly executed on the battlefield, Rutledge is driven to uncover the haunting truths of murder and madness rooted in a family crypt...

Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

A real challenge to understand the complicated family, but a good read, nonetheless. Perhaps future editions could include a family tree. :) Off to the next book!

Ian Rutledge is a fascinating character - barely survived world war one, mentally scarred and now just holding on to his sanity. Add that to great mysteries and wonderful period detail gives you a fantastic series of books.
