description: Ian Rutledge, a Scotland Yard detective haunted by his memories of life in the trenches during World War I, made a memorable debut in last year's A Test of Wills . And he makes a welcome return in Charles Todd's haunting WIngs of Fire as he tries to figure out a Cornwall family's tragic history. Thoughtful and evocative, Todd's tale offers interesting, three-dimensional characters, even though two of them are dead -- the soldier Hamish, whose voice still sounds in Rutledge's head, and the poet Olivia, whose searing verses may hold the clues Rutledge seeks.—Nancy Pate
