It's 1944 and Theo Cazalle is returning to the family he left in
Bonnemort, an estate deep in the French countryside, when he went off to
fight with the Free French. Memories of Bonnemort have sustained him
through four years of war, but when at last he comes home, he finds his
world in tatters. The house has been abandoned, a family servant has
been shot, Theo's wife has been accused of collaborating, and a Nazi
officer has been found dead in front of Bonnemort's front gate. To save
his sanity, Theo must restore order to Bonnemort, but first he must
understand the disorder into which it has fallen. Is his wife a whore? A
murderer? Or could there be another alternative?
