During the German occupation of Holland, tobacconist Henri Osewoudt
finds himself drawn into the resistance when he is visited by the
ruthless Dorbeck, who also happens to look remarkably like him.
Soon Osewoudt is carrying out dangerous missions, helping British
agents and killing collaborators with aplomb. But after the war, he
is taken for a collaborator himself. How can he prove that he was
on the right side - and how much of what he remembers is real? The
Darkroom of Damocles is a razor-sharp thriller set in a world where
everything is permitted, even murder. As unsettling and morally
challenging today as when it was first written.
