An innocuous white Peugeot makes its way around the monastries and abbeys of Southern France.No one would suspect its driver of being the target of commando hit-men,the gendarmerie's most wanted criminal or a public enemy sentenced twice to death in absentia for wartime crimes. For over forty years this fugitive has been sheltered in his own land by both Church and State.
But now that he is becoming a cause celebre,and the net is closing in,what other collaborators lurk in high places, dreading exposure?
Brian Moore,whose writing combines profound literary intelligence with the most compelling story-telling,has unearthed the political minefield that is the legacy of post-war France.
