  • "A riveting, morally complex suspense novel of a fugitive Nazi collaborator who knows no guilt."@en
  • "Pierre Brossard, sentenced to death in absentia for heinous war crimes, keeps moving like a fox through the underground. Thriller based on the true story of Paul Touvier."
  • "The statement is the exciting and thrilling story of Pierre Brossard, a man condemned to death by French courts for crimes against humanity in WWII, but 40 years later, he is being pursued by a number of enemies, and which are the crimes that he actually committed? Sheltered by the Catholic Church for over 40 years, Pierre Brossard suddenly finds himself on the run when a new police investigation is opened. But someone else is after him too, and Brossard finds himself out-witting his many pursuers whilst figuring out who they are and whether they want him dead or alive."@en
  • "The final days of Pierre Brossard's life see him escaping both assassination and arrest. Brossard has been a fugitive since 1945, because of his involvement with the Vichy regime -- twice condemned to death in absentia, later pardoned by the president's office, then accused of war crimes. Brossard has not only remained in France, but has been sheltered by church and state, as he travels France with a suitcase full of Nazi paraphernalia."
  • "An elderly man in France is the target of many-- some want to kill him for his war crimes, others want to silence him before he can implicate others, and the police want him so that justice can be done."@en
  • "Pierre Brossard is a war criminal. He is wanted for killing a group of Jews in southern France during World War II. With the aid of the Catholic Church and government contacts, he has managed to avoid capture for almost 50 years. But now his allies are growing old, and the political climate is changing. The wily Brossard is about to lose his protection; how much is he willing to risk to retain it?"@en
