Publisher's 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.
