With a new foreword by the author In occupied France, it's not always easy to tell the difference between collaboration and resistance. In an atmosphere of betrayal and brutality, the village of St Blaize is forced to cooperate with the occupying troops, while unknown to them German scientists based in the village work on a deadly nerve gas. But events conspire to turn the villagers into heroes rather than cowards, and bring the Death's Head Battalion of the SS to wreak vengeance on St Blaize. Years later, a woman hunts for revenge. The horror and anguish of the past must be lived again, and shameful secrets and forbidden lusts must come to light.
