About the Book

Valentin Schmitz aime Shelby's Creek, une ferme de l'Iowa de cent soixante hectares, qui reprÉsente non-seulement la postÉritÉ familiale de troisiÈme gÉnÉration, mais qui lui semble le rapprocher le plus qu'il puisse Être de ses dÉfunts grands-parents adorÉs dont les souvenirs de vie À la ferme restent profondÉment ancrÉs en lui chaque jour. Puis un jour, il reÇoit une lettre dont le timbre indique « Angleterre » sans adresse de retour. Il se doute de qui elle provient et se doute que son contenu l'Éloignera de Shelby's Creek, peut-Être pour toujours... Les jours passent avant qu'il ne l'ouvre. Son pire cauchemar se confirme. Il doit se rendre en France immÉdiatement. Le seul problÈme est que la France est occupÉe par l'ennemi. En contactant son ancien officier commandant militaire, on lui propose un emploi avec OSS, le prÉcurseur de la CIA. Ses compÉtences particuliÈres lui donnent le feu vert pour un embarquement immÉdiat. Il devra assister et aider les mouvements souterrains avec un rÉseau de rÉsistance franÇais avec subversion, sabotage, renseignements et assassinat, ce dernier point Étant un problÈme. Il refuse de tuer, ce qu'il rÉpÈte encore et encore. Ne pas vouloir tuer n'a rien À voir avec la lÂchetÉ, mais tout À voir avec le respect de la vie, se disait-il, une leÇon apprise et profondÉment enracinÉe À Shelby's Creek. Le jour suivant, lorsqu'il quitte la ferme, il souhaite avoir encore une seule rÉcolte, une seule saison printaniÈre complÈte, une seule nuit d'hiver dans la cabane auprÈs du feu. Mais il se rendra bientÔt compte qu'il pourrait y avoir quelque chose de plus attendrissant que Shelby's Creek.
