Fortress Stalingrad has fallen; 145,000 German soldiers have been slaughtered and the Russians have taken 91,000 prisoners. The tide of the war is beginning to turn.

The brutal reach of combat, however, continues to elude quiet, idyllic Guernsey in the Channel Islands, the only British territory to be occupied by German troops in World War II. . . . Here Nazi officers still party with local girls. . . .Then the body of the young, pretty Isobel van Dielen, her nose and mouth filled with cement, is found dead in a bunker, and the comedy of collaborative manners goes sour.

Isobel's ghastly death forges an uneasy alliance between the cultured, high-ranking Nazi officer Major Lentsch and the island's principled police inspector Ned Luscombe, both of whom have admired thevictim more than from afar.
