In the chaos of occupied France, she survived marauding German soldiers, the dangers of fighting for the Resistance and finally repatriation to Britain. In a stark post-war economy, she managed to carve out a career in journalism, rising to the heights of success. And when her divorced son left her holding the baby, it seemed like nothing she couldn?t handle. After a long and successful life, at eighty she is making attempts to subdue her energy and settle down to retirement. But when a con artist fixes on her beloved grandson David, then retirement will have to wait. Instead, it is the beginning of a journey into France, her old battlegrounds, and a quest for retribution. For Helen Mercier is no sweet little old lady. She has fought for justice before, and if the criminal thinks he can get away with insulting her and hers, he has a surprise coming to him . . .
