What to expect
It's World War I, and young Glaswegian Dougal Kerr is a new recruit in the British army. Dougal has no family and no past, but his easygoing demeanor belies his cheerless upbringing. There's only one thing that gives Ian Rutledge pause: Dougal is very good at killing, and he doesn't seem to mind it at all -- in fact, he seems to relish it. In wartime, how does one tell the difference between a remorseless killer and "a guid soldier"?
