- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Billy and Kaz have been investigating and seeing the horrors of war for a couple years and it is seemingly starting to manifest in physical ways for both men. They start in Falaise, a stand the Poles took in France that I didn't know much about. With the march on Paris in the works, Patton is in France, and the resistance is starting to break ranks to favor a free France, DeGaulle or Communism. Looking for a traitor takes Billy and Kaz from the French countryside to Paris. where Billy is neatly aided by the grandfather of a detective in another series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two ugly scenes bookend this bleak description of the liberation of Paris. One. the Poles savage fight to hold Hill 262 in Falaise and the other the bloody mess that ensued as the Germans left Paris. Billy struggles to carry out a diversionary plan for the allies to move past and keep chasing the fleeing Germans while popping bills and caring for the ailing Kaz. A brutal but rivering tale in this very good WW2 series.
