Set in post-liberation Paris in 1944, the narrative explores the dark aftermath of the Allies' arrival, revealing how American deserters and their French allies exploited the city with mob-like ruthlessness. They established a thriving black market, profiting from illegal goods while engaging in rampant crime, including violence, robbery, and exploitation. The book delves into the impact of military justice, which struggled to manage nearly 8,000 criminal cases, and highlights the identities of both French and American perpetrators during this tumultuous period.
