Thriller. Newly-weds Dan and Bea decide to escape London. Driving through France in their clapped-out car they anticipate a long, lazy summer.

Paris. 1942.  An architect accepts a commission that will bring him huge wealth – and perhaps a death sentence. The brief, to design a hiding place for a wealthy Jewish man, a space so invisible it won’t be discovered by even the most determined of Nazi soldiers. When one of his other designs fails horribly, the commission becomes personal and he has to come to terms with the enormity of his project. What does he owe to his fellow men and how far will he go to make things right?
