"The House of Baltazar" by William John Locke is a story set in the early 1900s, focusing on Godfrey Baltazar, a wounded officer trying to piece together his life after the war. Recovering in a special home, he meets Marcelle Baring, a nurse who knew his father, a brilliant mathematician named John Baltazar, who vanished years before.
