Voices on the Wind / Evelyn Anthony 145 p.

In the village of Amdale, England, Katherine Alfurd is something of a local character as she tells anyone who will listen of tales of her fighting in the French resistance. People listen with only half an ear until the Butcher of Marseille is returned to France to stand trial for Nazi war crimes. Katherine becomes a person of interest as she tells of everything she can of those times to Paul Roulier. Katherine remembers how the resistance leader, her comrades-in-arms, and even herself fell into the Gestapo's hands. All had been betrayed and most died in Gestapo custody. Katherine was spirited away by a double agent. She agrees to meet with the "Butcher", perhaps now the voices from the past will be silenced. Unknowingly she becomes the center of attention as her actions may adversely affect people's lives now.
