At the office his boss, chief of homicide, is incredulous that Henri didn't hear the gunshot that killed a man right outside his apartment. On the plus side, this means that Henri isn't a witness and can investigate the case. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt first appears that the dead man is a nobody--but Henri soon finds out he's a nobody with a classified police file. Henri confronts his bosses and then the Germans, but is stonewalled. So he turns his investigation to the other tenants in his building. Coincidentally, each resident claims ignorance. When Henri learns that the dead man was a German agent, he must face the real possibility that one of his friends and neighbors is a killer. It's his job to find the truth no matter what, but when he does he faces the biggest dilemma of his career--whether in times like these the rules of justice should be, just sometimes, trumped by the rules of war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARK PRYOR is a former newspaper reporter and felony prosecutor, originally from England but now working as a criminal defense attorney in Austin, Texas.
