This is an auction for WALKING THE SHADOWS by Donald James.
"WALKING THE SHADOWS is the suspense-filled new thriller from the best-selling author of Monstrum and Vadim. Under the still waters of a lake in the mountains north of Nice, a secret is about to see the light of day for the first time in forty years. The South of France is in the grip of a severe drought and the village of St. Just -- once flooded to provide water to the thirsty tourist towns of the Riviera -- is reappearing. Never a peaceful place, the village was the site of intense struggle during the Second World War, when Resistance fighters risked everything to save French Jews from deportation. But some Jews didnt make it, because fellow Frenchmen, who were working for the Vichy puppet government that ruled France for two years during the war, betrayed them. The Jews left a legacy in the drowned graveyard of St. Just and in the lonely hills -- a legacy that will one day expose their betrayer. One clue is the mysterious $28 million fortune left to Romilly, Tom Chapels seventeen-year old daughter, by one of the old Resistance fighters. Shell inherit the money when shes 21 -- if she lives that long! Tom discovers that his past has been a lie, and his present is very much a mystery, when Romilly is brutally attacked and left in a coma, shortly after he discovers the legacy. Clearly someone is trying to stop the money going to the Chapels, but why was it left to them? What is the mystery of Marcel Coultard, Resistance hero and unexpected benefactor?"
