Stolen Marches by David Crackanthorpe
Set amidst the moral and political chaos of newly liberated France in 1945, this is an extraordinary novel of love, betrayal and sacrifice. As a student in France under the German occupation, Stephen Seagrave risked his life for the Resistance. But with the German defeat come dangers of another but no less frightening kind as he searches for the Gypsy whore he tried to save from the camps. His only weapon is a compromising photograph of a collaborator, now a powerful man in the new government, whom he must blackmail into helping him. But such a dangerous game will lead him into a deadly labyrinth of deceptions and betrayals where it is no longer possible to tell friend from foe.
David Cracknathorpe was born at Newbiggin in the county of Westmoreland, where his family had lived for some eight hundred years. He studied law at Oxford University and practised as a barrister in London, where he married the Irish actress Helena Hughes, now deceased. He lives in France where he has worked as a forester, gardener and cultivator of olive trees.
