Title : The Shadow of a Traitor - Nathalie Saint-Cricq - Book

Summary :

June 18, 1960, Paris. Désiré, a young orphan and a budding journalist at France-Soir, finds himself, despite himself, at the heart of a murky affair that will change his life. Fifteen heroes of the Fighting France chosen at the Liberation make their solemn entrance into the crypt of Mont Valérien, as General de Gaulle had wished. It is a great moment in national history. Yet, in the shadows, all is well: it seems that a traitor, Robert B., is among the coffins. For Désiré, the scoop of his life quickly turns into a much more complex spiral than he had imagined. Underhand blows, threats... they want to silence him. With the help of the enigmatic resistance fighter Henri de Prévôté, his ingenious fiancée Colette, and a whimsical bistro owner, the apprentice reporter will go to any lengths to unravel the mystery of this state secret, even if it means being confronted with the shadowy areas of his own past. In the guise of a humorous detective novel, Nathalie Saint-Cricq tells us the true story, previously unpublished, of the affair that shook France in the 1960s and the mysteries of Gaullist power.
