      About This Book

      David Freund, a retired bookseller from San Francisco, is in Paris. At breakfast, over coffee, he sees an ad in the Herald Tribune for an English language bookstore. The purchase includes a smaller store in south central France. In a caf in the Place des Voges, he meets a lovely English woman, Kathryn Bingham, who works at the British embassy in Paris. Their friendship deepens as she encourages Freund to purchase both stores. The Paris store is in the heart of the Marais, near the Holocaust museum with its wall of 76,000 names. Freund struggles with the idea as he discovers the complicity of the French police in the murder of 76,000 Jews, including 11,000 Jewish Children.
