THE SECOND INSTALLMENT IN THE DARK YEARS TRILOGY

The Return of Antoine Martinet, The Hooded Man.

Paris, August 1940. Antoine Martinet thwarted the Cagoule’s attempt to overthrow the French Republic before the war. Now he finds himself facing them once again, as the feared 'hooded men' have become arch collaborators, intent on turning France into a satellite of Hitler’s new European Order.

Antoine goes back undercover in his quest to stop them. As he moves between Paris, the Eastern Front and the port city of Marseille, he constantly risks his life, coming up against some of the world’s most ruthless killers in the Gestapo and their allies in the Parisian and Marseille underworlds.

Alongside his patriotic mission, he is driven by a personal quest: to hunt down and assassinate the person responsible for the murder of his lover.

To achieve his goals, Antoine must cross many lines, between the Occupied and Free Zones in war-torn France and between his own conflicting beliefs.
