The Road to Tarascon

‘
What if you raised the lid of a piano stool in a bombed-out house and discovered a photograph of your mother with a German soldier… in NORMANDY?
Vera Lawson accepts an offer of employment with the aristocratic Wellmont family in London as a tutor. But she has an ulterior motive. Could her mother, the scatterbrained Caroline Montieff, have fled to France in search of her lost freedom?
Gunther Polt, a Waffen SS Tank Commander, aristocratic, arrogant and wealthy with vast estates in Germany, finds himself in an impossible position.
Vera knows the family are hiding the connection between her mother, Caroline and Polt, but they need to prove it. It is not until 1944 and she enlists with the British Nursing Corp to discover her mother’s innermost secrets.
It is only when disaster strikes, killing the entire Welmont household, and skeletal remains are uncovered in the Chateau’s crypt along with two stolen canvases, will Interpol disclose Caroline Lawson’s dark history?
