About the Book

Two Sisters, the first part of a trilogy, takes place in Paris and the surrounding area shortly after the end of WWII, when France had barely started to recover from four years of Nazi occupation. It was a time of political turmoil and labor unrest but also of intense intellectual debates, and the ongoing war against the Viêt Minh in Indochina was a prelude to the decolonization process.

Toni Bonnet, who was a Prisoner of War in Germany, returns to Paris, manages to find an apartment in the Marais area, and sets up his one-man detective agency. However, the post-WWII economic climate is unfavorable, and he struggles to make ends meet. He is no risk taker and specializes in cases of infidelity that do not require feats of daring, but his life takes a different turn when he is hired by a horsemeat butcher who thinks that his wife is being unfaithful. The butcher does not believe her when she says that she spends time with her older sister, who is supposedly gravely ill and in need of constant assistance.

This assignment initially promises to be easy and lucrative, but Toni discovers that the butcher's wife had not lied about visiting her sister, except that the two women meet secretly in an abandoned house in the forest of Fontainebleau and that the allegedly sick woman, who happens to be a Résistance hero, is the picture of health. Although Toni does not have solid evidence, he becomes convinced that the sisters are linked to the deaths of former résistants. He also finds out that the butcher's wife had a baby by a German officer during the war and that her toddler has disappeared.
The Child, the second part of the trilogy, focuses on the search for the missing toddler.
