"That artful master of the international policier . . . delivers another one of his uncommonly intelligent procedurals with Inspector Henri Castang." — The New York Times
When Police Commissaire Henri Castang is summoned to investigate a missing hotelier, he's not alarmed at the young widow's disappearance. Until a routine inquiry on the hotel's last guest reveals him to be a Jewish artist and concentration camp survivor who never checked in to a room. All clues seem to lead to a dead end, until a terrorist bombing of a church convent sends Castang in search of a mystery that will link back to the crimes buried deep in Europe's war-torn past.
"[A] rich and savory ratatouille fans have come to expect from Freeling—ironical and humorous, sad, clever and insightful." — Publishers Weekly
"A dark vision of war then-and-now and of tangled loyalties—to God, to country, to man—with love overriding all." — Kirkus Reviews
