The first book in an intriguing new historical crime series.

France, 1963. Meet Inspector Lucas Rocco.

'Insubordinate bastard. And insolent. A good cop through. A bit nuts.'
Capt. Michel Santer, Clichy-Nanterre District

On his first day in the village of Poissons-Les-Marais, the last thing Inspector Lucas Rocco expects to find, in a British military cemetery, is the body of a murdered woman wearing a Gestapo officer’s uniform. When the murdered woman’s body is removed from the police mortuary on the authority of a Paris magistrate, Rocco traces the order back to the dead woman’s father, Philippe Bayer-Berbier, and realises that Berbier has something to hide.

Following an attempt on one villager’s life and the disappearance of another, Rocco uncovers how each is connected to Berbier, and at the risk of his own life must find out which of them could have been involved with the woman’s murder.
