Synopsis

The man known only as Cantillon - a brutal collaborator who unleashed a reign of terror on the streets of Paris - has arrived in Nord-Calais. His mission - to crush the black market resistance on the eve of D-Day where Hitler has decided the Allies will land. Holding his leash - a psychotic SS colonel bent on resurrecting his disintegrating career at any cost, obsessed with finding a lone American commando hiding as a patient in the infamous Ward 15 at Saint-Sauvuere Hospital. Innocent lives swirl in a complex maelstrom of cruelty, violence, and deception as the people of Nord-Calais struggle to simply find enough food to eat - balancing on the edge of the perfect void, the gateway to hell.

À propos de l'auteur

I have coffee most every morning at my "office" - a small table in a 1920s style restaurant and hotel called the Olympic Club in Centralia, Washington. Visitors assume I work there, some think I am the manager. I direct people to the bathrooms - the urinals in this place are a tourist attraction all by themselves. This is where I write. The chaos and atmosphere prep me for the day, and everyone in town knows if you need to talk to me, just drop by the "Oly Club."Most don't know I have a master's degree in business, and ran my own technology company for over twenty-five of my last forty working years. I won a national championship on horseback, raced sailboats, wrestled octopus, baby-sat a killer whale, and once was a cook on a salmon purse seiner. I cherish my role as author-in-residence, or that crazy guy at the table by the urinals - it depends on your perspective.
