Synopsis
In 1944 the French Resistance carried out a legendary train
robbery at Neuvic in the Périgord, stealing the reserves of the Banque de France. The money was never recovered.
In St Denis, Bruno, chef de police, can't get a moment's peace. Some rare old bank notes have come to light that may have links to the Neuvic robbery. He's also dealing with a wave of local burglaries. The victims include the former head of Britain's Joint Intelligence Committee, which has brought Bruno's old flame, Isabelle, who works for French Intelligence, back to the town. Worse is to come - vicious murder. The victim's bludgeoned body is found by his lover - the prime suspect.
But Bruno's not convinced.
When Jacqueline, a historian from the Sorbonne researching the Neuvic heist from a different angle, is also burgled, the stakes become much higher. Her work, it appears, is deadly dangerous - political dynamite.
