Because You Despise Me Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

When Feldwebel Horst Stussel is murdered in Jake Plenty's Moroccan brothel, local police chief Nicolas Renard suspects Jake's involvement in the crime.

Renard has loved Jake since their service in the Legion Etrangère during the Great War, but in this era of concentration camps, gas chambers, and the infamous pink triangle, his love for the American dare not speak its name.  When sadistic Nazi officer Major Danzig, a fanatic who excels at the arts of torture and interrogation, comes to Maarif, it isn't because of the Feldwebel.

He is in search of Christophe Picard, Resistance leader and Jake's former lover.

Danzig will stop at nothing to uncover Picard's whereabouts, to find him and destroy him, and in so doing, strike a fatal blow against everything Picard stands for. With an Allied invasion of North Africa mere days away, Jake and Renard must combine their wits, cunning, and courage to help Picard escape to America and freedom.

In the midst of war and struggle, the two men are drawn into the fight of the century—and each other's arms.
