from the back:

"Larkwood Priory, Suffolk, 1995: Following his afternoon confessions, Father Anselm is stopped by an old man. What, he is asked, should a man do when the world has turned against him? Anselm's response - claim sanctuary - is to have greater resonance than he could ever have imagined, for the man returns demanding the protection of the Church. He is Eduard Schwermann, a suspected Nazi war criminal.

Meanwhile, with her life running out, Agnes Aubret unburdens a secret to her granddaughter, Lucy. Fifty years earlier Agnes lived in occupied Paris and risked her life to smuggle Jewish children to safety until her group was exposed by an SS officer: Eduard Schwermann.

As Father Anselm struggles to discover the truth about Schwermann's history and Lucy delves ever deeper into her grandmother's past, their investigations dovetail to reveal a remarkable story, in which two seemingly unconnected lives shockingly converge. A master of crisp historical re-creation, precision plotting, and morally complex characterization, William Broderick makes a dazzling debut in this deeply suspenseful literary thriller."

This is an excellent book. I wish I could have read it more quickly but some parts are difficult going and I had to keep putting it aside. I don't know what to say without giving away some of the plot, except that I really loved this.
