Occupied France, 1941. The enemy is billeted in the house. The man they are hunting is hidden upstairs.
David Hargrove, a burned RAF pilot, is carried into a manor house in Picardy and hidden in the attic at the top of the turret stairs. In the west wing of the same house, behind a boarded-up door, live the four German officers sent to find exactly the man now lying above their heads. Each morning, Madame Tellier hands them their eggs through the kitchen door, says nothing, and closes it.
In England, David's mother writes him letters she cannot send, not knowing if he is alive to read them. His father hunts a traitor through the oil routes that keep Britain fighting. And in the oilfields of Burma, as the Japanese advance, the woman who once taught herself to weld a derrick rather than let the company build it badly prepares to destroy the fields she has spent her life protecting.
Three countries. One war. And the same questions beneath them all. What will we carry for the people we love? What will we burn to keep it from the enemy?
The third Reginald Hargrove Mystery.
