In the winter of the Franco-Prussian War, as the Empire collapses, rumours of treasure trains bound for the Breton coast and a German cruiser loose off Brest draw spies, deserters and fanatics to a village of fisherfolk. An investigator caught between governments meets a fearless local girl who can outswim, outrun and outdance every man in the parish.
Romantic adventure from Chambers in his prime, full of Breton colour and wartime chaos. Download the free EPUB.
