Finding Philippe

In the late 1940s, Vicky Hampden leaves the gloom of post-war London and goes to France to look for her wartime lover, Philippe d'Icere. Unsure if he's dead or alive, she's determined either to find him or to find out how and why he died. But stirring up ghosts isn't safe, and Vicky's sinister father sends a young lawyer, Julius Drummond, to find Vicky and return her to England. However, Julius has his own reasons for being interested in Philippe d'Icere and, instead of persuading her to go back to London, he encourages Vicky in her search. Their inquiries lead them to the south of France, where memories of the Resistance and of collaborators are still fresh. There Vicky discovers not only how many people had reason to want Philippe dead, but just how far they are now prepared to go to prevent the truth being revealed.
