THE THINGS THAT ARE LOST

It will all have gone. Erased. Forgotten. Like throwing letters in the fire. The completion of Alan Kennedy's WW2 trilogy takes up the story one year after the events of A Time to Tell Lies. Following the disastrous visit to John Cabot in Oxford Justine has vanished. Alex posted to a Spy School in Scotland finds life a kind of benign imprisonment. The Things That Are Lost chronicles the efforts of these two played-out SOE agents to rediscover each other. Set against the backdrop of the liberation of Paris in August 1944 they are aided by Madeleine a woman haunted by the war-time compromises that have kept her alive. A love story exploring one of the most shocking secrets of the City of Light under German occupation. A secret so disturbing that even now Paris has decided it is best forgotten.
