</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:
"Proxima Nova Alt Lt"">A body has been found. The elderly victim’s identity has
been cleverly obscured but one thing is clear: she has been killed in the
manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:
"Proxima Nova Alt Lt"">To find answers in the present, police inspector Inès
Picaut must look to the past; to 1940s France, a time of sworn allegiances and
broken promises, where the men and women of the Resistance fought for survival
against Nazi invaders.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:
"Proxima Nova Alt Lt"">But, as Picaut soon discovers, there are those in the
present whose futures depend on the past remaining buried, and who will kill to
keep their secrets safe. Old fashioned espionage might be a thing of the past
but treachery is as dangerous as ever.</span></p>
