"Literate crime thrillers don't get much better than this."
"--Publishers Weekly "(starred) on "L'Assassin"""
Peter Steiner has thoroughly impressed sophisticated thriller
mavens everywhere with his critically acclaimed novels featuring
ex-CIA operative Louis Morgon. Now, in what is indubitably
Steiner's finest book to date, Louis attempts to solve a mystery
with roots going back as far as World War II.
When Louis purchases a rundown house in Saint-Leon-sur-Deme, he
quickly goes to work fixing it up. However, during the renovations,
he discovers evidence of a long forgotten crime hidden beneath the
floorboards. Unable to leave a good mystery unsolved, he enlists
the help of his friend Renard, a French cop, and sets out to
discover exactly what happened in this small French village during
the Nazi occupation.
As Louis and Renard search for the answer to a decades-old
question, they encounter an unforgettable cast of characters,
including Simon, a Jew from Berlin who leads a French resistance
cell, a Nazi colonel who is not at all what he seems, and Marie
Piano, whose bravery is unmatched. Soon, Louis is pulled into the
secrets and lies of the past as he begins to call into question the
very nature of guilt and innocence in times of war.
Compelling, arresting, and complex, "The Resistance "is a
thriller that will appeal to fans of John le Carre and Graham
Greene.
