On Pain of Death

"My name is Juliette Benoit. In a few days, weeks, or months, I may be dead." So begins the story of a Canadian student at the Sorbonne, trapped in Paris during the German occupation of World War II. Never more than one step ahead of the Gestapo, Juliette joins an escape network and undertakes a dangerous flight across France to bring a young Jewish orphan to safety. Meanwhile, in the village of St-Leger, Gabrielle Aubin vows to uncover a murderer. Her task seems hopeless, yet Juliette and Gabrielle discover a common link in their past - a secret that leads to a shocking revelation.
