In May 1944, Colonel Alfred Brunnerman of the Gestapo interrogated a young French Resistance agent named Terese Masson. They faced each other as combatants, as enemies sworn to each other's destruction. But in another time, in a different place, they could have been lovers - somewhere where he was not the jailer and she the condemned. Twenty years later, Alfred Brunnerman and Terese Masson face each other again. Now he is a successful Swiss architect and she the pampered wife of a rich American. Now she is an honoured war heroine and he wanted war criminal. And the love that had been merely impossible becomes the prelude to a nightmare of fear and destruction.
