Synopsis

The first part of the trilogy focused on the mysterious actions of Sandrine and Claudine, the sisters bent on avenging their father, who had been falsely accused of collaboration and murdered by résistants. The second part was an investigation into the abduction of Sandrine's child, who had been fathered by an officer in the German occupation army. Both Two Sisters and The Child were set in 1947.
The third book, set a year later, centers on the search for the sisters' mother, who had inexplicably abandoned her very young daughters when she was in her mid-twenties and was believed to have moved to the United States. The investigation, which brings echoes of the artistic and intellectual Parisian scene of the 1920s and 1930s, eventually takes private eye Toni Bonnet to New York.
