Description
In early-1990s France, Pierre Brossard—once a Vichy-era officer and implicated in atrocities during World War II—lives under a shadow that refuses to fade. When a chilling “statement” resurfaces and forces the past into the present, Brossard is drawn into a tense pursuit of truth, identity, and accountability that spans the south of France and Paris. Brian Moore crafts a taut, atmospheric moral thriller that examines how complicity can be concealed, how justice can arrive late, and what it means to confront crimes that outlive their perpetrators. With the momentum of a political thriller and the weight of historical reckoning, this novel turns a real-life war-crimes legacy into a gripping, conscience-driven drama.
