    "The body of an elderly woman is found in Orléans, France, her identiy cleverly obscured. But one thing is clear: she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two. 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 men and women fought together for survival against the Nazi invaders. But, as Picaut soon discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on the past remaining buried, and who will do anything to keep their secrets safe. Old-fashioned espionage might be a thing of the past but treachery is just as murderous as ever ..." Klappentext.
