Author Description

Murder on a bitter winter's night in 1942 on a deserted road of France's Fontainebleau Forest - a young man with empty pockets and no I.D. Nearby, frozen blood on the rock that killed him, the print of a woman's shoe and a beaded silk purse containing a million francs in uncut diamonds. A crime of passion? The work of the Resistance? Or something else altogether? Enter a most unlikely pair - Jean-Louis St-Cyr of the Surete Nationale, and Hermann Kohler, a maverick Gestapo member.
