About the book

"A shocking crime is committed in a small town in north-east France in the dead of the bitter winter of 1917, as the war is still being fought in the trenches, within sight and sound of the town. But the town itself is untouched. One morning, a beautiful ten-year-old girl, one of the three daughters of the local innkeeper, is found strangled and dumped in the canal. Suspicion falls immediately on two deserters who have fled the nearby front." "Twenty years later, the man who originally investigated the crime begins to look again at the facts of the case, and tries to piece together what he believes actually happened the night the girl died. In the process he uncovers more than one miscarriage of justice."--BOOK JACKET.
