Dordogne, July 1942. The Germans occupy France, but there are still "ordinary crimes" to be investigated. Jean-Louis St-Cyr of the Surete Nationale and Hermann Kohler of the Gestapo are two seasoned detectives, professional policemen who have been paired by their superiors. They work well together, each supplementing the other's skills. Now they are faced with a dilemma. A respectable middle-aged woman has been found bludgeoned to death, butchered. The body has been virtually ripped apart. What could have provoked such savagery? As postmistress of her provincial village, she knew everyone's business. Was she a threat to someone? She despised her son-in-law and was loathed by him. Could he have killed her? Or was it a secret lover with whom she'd had a rendezvous? But perhaps the motive for the crime lies in the past. Many years ago, she had participated in the discovery of a prehistoric art trove rivaling the caves of Lascaux. A motion picture company has just arrived in the area to make a film of that event tracing Nazi roots back to Neanderthal times. Himmler is excited, Goebbels has sunk money into the venture, the Fuhrer himself is ecstatic. Do St-Cyr and Kohler dare to bring the murderer to justice?

FROM THE PUBLISHER-When a nameless girl is brought in, drowned, to the mortuary where Stewart Park works as a photographer he becomes obsessed with her frozen beauty. Stewart's domestic life is more than a little unsettling: Dad, who's given to consuming but short-lived crazes, has recently installed Lady the pit bull terrier as part of his home-security campaign, and Stewart's small nephews, Lee and Lenny, are constantly dumped on him by his evasive sister Mary. Lee and Lenny are behaving in an inexplicably withdrawn fashion, Mary appears to be keeping dubious company, and Stewart can't help worrying that destructive Dad will one day break into his bedroom and take apart his precious computer small wonder, then, that Stewart devotes himself to finding out all he can about the drowned girl. His enquiries-and their consequences-begin to take over his life. Advancing into a dark and vicious world he had never even dreamt of, he realizes, belatedly, that he is a hopelessly ill-equipped player in a very sinister game. inventory #26104.
