From the Publisher
January 1943. The naval war in the North Atlantic is at its deadliest as a diminished Luftwaffe cannot defend the Brittany coast and its submarine stations from RAF bombers. Still, Jean-Louis St-Cyr of the French Sûreté Nationale and Hermann Kohler of the Gestapo continue to fight "common crime" under the Occupation. A Breton shopkeeper has been murdered. The accused, a U-boat captain, is a protégé of Admiral Doenitz and heir to a doll manufactory. Unwilling players in a tragedy driven by greed and revenge, St-Cyr and Kohler must also contend with a fiercely loyal submarine crew, all of whom refuse to put to sea without their beloved Dollmaker.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Considering how little (in English, at least) profanity there is -- probably because the author has trouble making it sound anything but painfully forced -- I was surprised by the rampant misogyny (see: "loose" women, and crimes of a specific nature committed against women) throughout, and more and more strongly suspected the writer was EITHER (1) a very old man quite out of touch with the world, maybe because he has worked as a college researcher or professor (definitely NOT of any subject that would involve writing, of course) his entire life, OR (2) a woman (named Jane Roberts, perhaps?) trying too hard to write like a man.
I looked Janes up while writing this review, and it seems my first guess was correct.
I never leave a book unfinished, but I regret having picked up and wasted time reading this awful novel.
