About the story.

Father Brown and Flambeau walk through a bitterly cold landscape toward a memorial to a celebrated soldier. The public account of the man’s courage appears settled, but the priest has questions about the story behind it.

This mystery unfolds through conversation, remembered events, and the interpretation of a reputation. A monument can preserve a name without making the circumstances of a life easy to understand.
