An isolated beach on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel
is the scene of the murder of Guy Brouard, one of Guernsey's
wealthiest inhabitants and its main benefactor. Forced as a child
to flee the Nazis in Paris, Brouard was engaged in his latest
project when he died: a museum in honor of those who resisted the
German occupation of the island during World War II.
It is from this period of time that his murderer may well have
come. But there are others on Guernsey with reason to want Guy
Brouard dead: his wives, his business associates, his current
mistress, the underprivileged teenagers he mentored--any of whom
might have harbored a secret motive for murder. As family and
friends gather for the reading of the will, Deborah and Simon St.
James find that seemingly everyone on the history-haunted island
has something to hide. And behind all the lies and alibis, a killer
is lurking. In order to bring this person to justice, the St. James
must delve into Guernsey's dark history--both past and present--and
into the troubled psyche of someone who may have exacted
retribution for the most unspeakable crime of all.
In A Place of Hiding, bestselling novelist Elizabeth George marks
new territory in the darker landscapes of human relationships. She
tells a gripping, suspenseful story of betrayal and devotion, war
and remembrance, love and loss...and the higher truths to which we
must all ultimately answer.
