The lawyer Chavel trades his death sentence with somebody else for all his possessions during the WO II in a prison camp. Chavel makes out a will for Janvier, so the family gets whatever he leaves behind.
After the war is over Chavel, now named Charlot, is free again and can’t help but go by Brinac, the house he, together with all his other belongings and money, gave away. He is welcomed by Janvier’s sister and she gives him a place to stay in return for doing little jobs, one of them being, keeping an eye out for Chavel, because she is sure he will return to his old grounds someday. So Chavel is living in “his” house under false pretences, keeping an eye out for himself.
Time goes by and one day it happens: Chavel is on the doorstep of Brinac. How is that possible?
I’m not giving everything away, because this book you have to read for yourself. It has a great underlying suspense throughout the story that makes it a good thriller. The plot is well thought of and is even better worked out. Nothing unnecessary about things being told, but every detail in the story has his place for a reason. Great stuff!
