First edition. Fine in dust jacket. A village located in the south of France, was submerged during WWII. As the reservoir begins to empty, the "lost" town, St Juste, begins to reappear. Tom Chapel comes to St Juste to find out why a local man has left his 28 million dollar fortune to his daughter, Romilly and shortly thereafter she was kidnapped and attacked, and left in a life-threatening coma. Tom's search takes him back to a time when this part of France was ruled by the Vichy government that was at odds with the Resistance fighters who tried to smuggle Jews, including Tom, away to safety. Not all the women made it. Some were betrayed, but by whom? Who among the French people could be harboring a cold-blooded killer who forty years later is prepared to kill and kill again to preserve his secret?
