For readers of The Nightingale and Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes a
gripping historical thriller set against a fully-realized WWII backdrop
about the love a father has for his son and the lengths he is willing to
go to find him, from a talented new voice in suspense. Rhys Gravenor,
Great War veteran and Welsh sheep farmer, arrives in Paris in the midst
of the city's liberation with a worn letter in his pocket that may have
arrived years too late. As he follows the footsteps of his missing son
across an unfamiliar, war-torn country, he struggles to come to terms
with the incident that drove a wedge between the two of them. Joined by
Charlotte Dubois, an American ambulance driver with secrets of her own,
Rhys discovers that even as liberation sweeps across France, the war is
far from over. And his personal war has only begun as he is haunted by
memories of previous battles and hampered at every turn by danger and
betrayal. In a race against time and the war, Rhys follows his son's
trail from Paris to the perilous streets of Vichy to the starving mobs
in Lyon to the treacherous Alps. But Rhys is not the only one searching
for his son. In a race of his own, a relentless enemy stalks him across
the country and will stop at nothing to find the young man first. The
country is in tatters, no one is trustworthy, and Rhys must unravel the
mystery of his son's wartime actions in the desperate hope of finding
him before it's too late. Too late to mend the frayed bond between them.
Too late to beg his forgiveness. Too late to bring him home alive.
