Michel Bussi “Traces in the Sand”—a suspenseful psychological novel by a master of modern detective fiction.
June 1944. Soldier Lucky dies during the Normandy landing. Twenty years later, his fiancée Alice, who continues to remain faithful to her lost lover, learns about the insane bargain made only a few hours before the bloody massacre. Now a goal appears in her life: to find out the truth of what happened to her fiancé on the eve of the historic battle. The story moves from a small village in northern France to Washington and back. Alice follows the traces in the sand—fading away over time—trying to understand who the dead Lucky really was: a hero or a victim.
Along the way, she will have to awaken many demons of the past, survive plenty of adventures, and more than once find herself in danger of death. But one day, Alice will learn the truth—and it will turn out to be incredible.
