About this title

From the Publisher:

As a student in occupied France, Stephen Seagrave risked his life for the Resistance. But with the German defeat comes dangers of another kind as Stephen searches for the gypsy prostitute he tried to save from the death camps. His only weapon is a compromising photo of a collaborator ‹ now a powerful man in the new government ‹ whom Stephen must now blackmail into helping him. But this dangerous game is about to lead him into a deadly labyrinth of deception and betrayal, where it¹s no longer possible to tell friend from foe.

From Publishers Weekly:

Oxford University-educated David Crackanthorpe, a former barrister in London, artistically merges history and suspense in his debut novel, Stolen Marches, winner of Britain's Society of Authors Sagittarius Prize. The novel follows the journey of a former member of the Resistance as he searches for his lost love, a Gypsy prostitute who was sent east to the camps by the Nazis, in the progressively anarchic aftermath of WWII. Crackanthorpe's straightforward style sets the tone as the protagonist gradually becomes embroiled in a complex and dangerous plot involving blackmail and scandal. This entertaining debut will appeal to a broad readership.
