Book excerpt: "Shortly after the allied invasion of France in 1944 the tiny village of Oradour-Sur-Glane, located in the south of France, was suddenly and with no discernible reason surrounded by a German SS division. The inhabitants were segregated into groups then brutally massacred and the village burned to the ground. No reason was ever found for the atrocity and the village was never rebuilt. Gerard Beaulieu is a young boy who witnesses his parents being killed by the Commanding Officer of the division and vows revenge. He escapes and joins the Underground movement only to find out that the man he is chasing is his biological father. His chase ends when he finds evidence that the Officer has been killed by the Allies. Many years later he attends a war crimes trial and is reunited with a friend from his town. She informs him that the officer is alive and living in her village under an assumed identity. Gerard's thirst for revenge is rekindled and he takes up the quest he had started so many years before."
