Stolen Marches

For Stephen Seagrave, the end of the war only marks the beginning of his troubles. While he worked for the Resistance, taking clandestine photographs in the railway yards of Nimes, the gypsy prostitute he had fallen in love with was denounced to the Nazis and sent east to the camps.

Now Stephen is at last free to search for Ida, but as new forces rush to fill the vacuum left by the retreating Germans and old scores are settled in the ensuing anarchy, he realises that peach has made the world an even more dangerous place.

In the seemingly hopeless task of finding Ida, Stephen's only weapon is a photograph - the chance capture of a Vichy official overseeing an entrainment of gypsies and Jews, a man who has now miraculously emerged as a minister in the new government. Blackmailing the minister into helping him is Stephen's only realistic hope, but in this deadly game of cat and mouse, it's his own life that is now at stake.
