About the Book
Who will pay for the sins of the past…?
France, 1969
When a rare gap opens in barrister Charles Holborne’s court diary, he and Sally seize the chance for their long-postponed honeymoon.
With baby Leia in tow, they seek peace in a friend’s farmhouse deep in the rural heart of Gascony — a picturesque land of vineyards, sleepy village squares and distant Pyrenean peaks.
But Charles soon discovers that the village’s charm hides something much darker.
Beneath the quiet seethes a poisonous web of old grudges and betrayals — a community still fighting the Second World War, where old crimes refuse to stay buried.
Drawn into a simmering vendetta between those who collaborated with the Nazis and those who resisted, Charles has no choice but to defend a client in a place with no judge, no rules, and no law.
With a firing squad waiting for the verdict, his defendant’s life is on the line…
