Winter 1940: With soldiers parading down the Avenue des Champs-Élysees, Nazi flags dangling from the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower defaced with German propaganda, Parisians have little to celebrate as Christmas approaches. Police Inspector Henri Lefort's wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris's hospitals.

Being forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn't deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim's brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn.

Uncovering a relationship between the two men—one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich—Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt's experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves.

The reader almost seemed to be whining when speaking as the main character when discussing his issues. The story was just ok, but would probably have been better if I read it versus listening to this book presented by this narrator.

Disappointed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story had potential but it was very slow building, It was difficult to engage witht the narrator. There is a strange echo-lisp with all words ending with a hard consonant.

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This book had a lot going for it—setting, time, compelling plot. However, the
decision to turn the French policeman into an American-accented “tough guy” simply ruined the entire experience.

Paris under Occupation

found this very formulaic, Pryor's earlier series worked well, but his portrayal of an American pretending to be French was just not believable. the only driver was hatred of Germans

disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story was predictable although Pryor does a good job giving a sense of place and time. But the narrator was horrible. A miserable choice for a book about a French detective.

Horrible narrator
